Recently I got a call from a Mac user about the "Apple security center" report they got. My primary email/word processing/ppt/excel/web based stuff/photo editing machine is a Mac and, well no product called "Apple security center" exists for Apple or any reputable 3rd party company. I trot down to their desk to see what they have. This is the screen they got from some infected website as best I could tell:
We ran a full scan and thankfully the user didn't click anything and no infection was found. Some research indicate they little bastard app installs some sort of Trojan and will "remove" the "infections" for a small fee. Thankfully they noticed that they had more places devices listed on their Mac normally, which is partially what tipped them off.
