The new Mac virus is a joke

We, the Mac users always wanted to have a good, strong, handsome Mac virus that can tear up our systems and make Windows users think they have flies instead of viruses onto their PC’s. Unfortunately, Mac OS isn’t a good environment to sustain our fetishes and the big bad Mac viruses need to work harder than that. Now, putting the joke aside, there weren’t any real virus threats within the Mac community, but some sources, claim that the new Mac virus will hack and crack and whatnot.

The truth is that this new Mac virus is actually a Trojan, named Lamzev-A, after his russian father (probably) and what this Trojan is doing is opening a backdoor within our system and lets anyone use our Mac (aka attackers). Now, Lamzev-A comes disguised as a video codec and you need it to download it from a strange site (a porn/warez one). The Trojan activates itself after you have mounted the .dmg file and launched the application. However, I always thought that the Mac community has the best of the best and if you try to install codecs on your Mac from some porn site, you should stick with Windows in my opinion.

I love it that Mac users think they are “cool” that Mac is invulnerable to viruses or that the OS system is stable or better yet secure.
Viruses have been attacking Mac OS for a while, but users are too damn dumb to figure it out. Mac has fallen to Windows and Linux every year since the White Hats started their hacking contest. Windows is more secure than Mac, this coming from a Linux user, who is not at all impressed with Mac.
Three users who spent money on a Mac Pro book, all within one year, had to replace their hard drive. Of course you, the user can’t do this, you have to pay someone to do it. Then the airport card crapped out, then it still crashed and burned. Each user went back to Windows.
I am very unimpressed with this Mac I borrowed, how little comes with it, how weak the software is, and so much more. However, I do like some things as well.
Your bashing on Windows is a joke. Grow up, man, Windows so far is far superior to Mac, in just about every way that I have tested.
