Security experts have discovered two novel forms of Mac OS X malware.
OSX/Tored-A - an updated version of the Mac OS Tored worm - and a Trojan called OSX/Jahlav-C were both found on popular pornographic websites.
Users logging on to these sites are asked to download a "missing Video ActiveX Object" but are sent a virus payload instead.
Remember that the best security program is COMMON SENSE,
Think before you click.
Browse sensibly.
