Take Note: MacDefender Malware Now Calls Itself Mac Shield

New name, same headache. The MacDefender malware we’ve told you about in the past has morphed into a similarly fake anti-virus application that is still attempting to trick unsuspecting users into a download. Be wary, but don’t panic. [MSNBC]

    Try purposely downloading malware on a non-mac. Same thing will happen.

    The answer? Don’t download and install malware. It can’t do it on its own.
