Many people don't torrent it, they download the trial version and find the serial

"guess Apple can't say OSX is bug free anymore." Apple could never say OSX is bug free because a bug is something as simple as something causing a crash.

Me being an ***.

Yes I've heard about this happening.

Worms spread independently of human intervention due to weaknesses in the operating system. We like to think that we're immune to them on Macs, but again, this is just because we've not been attacked, not because MacOS is immune-- remember how we jailbroke 1.1.1? We went to a website that loaded a pic, and sloppy coding of the decompression routine allowed us to take control of the system. Funny how we can find operating system vulnerabilities when we really try.

This software is really more of a Trojan horse. It's run because you think it's a useful piece of software, but it's not.

Whatever you think about pirated software, as Apple gets more and more of a share of the OS market, this thing is going to be more and more common. Macs can get viruses, worms and Trojans, and I think we're going to see more and more of them in the future.

thats true. the 1.1.1 jailbreak was sorta like a trojan, any system can get a irus, just like any animal, golfish can get sick peopleQ

i would just look in the folder listed and see if "iWorkServices" is in there. also just incase update iAntiVirus and see what it bring up

[aamodr]

thank you for the prompt reply.. i do not have iWork 09, it was just a general question.. i just wanted to know is there any way as to know how a MAC behaves when it is infected.?? or does it just crash?

[idolpunk]

the larger the mac user base gets, the more of these we will start seeing

New Mac Trojan appears in pirated versions of Photoshop CS4 - 5,000 infected so far : Macenstein

looks like they found one in photoshop too... a mod might want to post this as a new story (or add it to the OP)

Here's what it looks like if you weren't an idiot and didn't pirate iWork.
