It was only matter of time before there was a serious Apple Mac trojan or virus. I’m not gloating over it, more just warning many of my friends who felt like this was just a windows or pc problem.

“Flashback trojan have reportedly infected more than half a million Macs” yes, that means your Apple Mac is at risk. 57 percent of the infected Macs are located in the US and 20 percent are in Canada.

f-Secure.com has posted a set of reasonably technical instructions for checking and removing the trojan. Follow along step by step from here.

[Update April 5th] ZDNet picked up on this today.
