Hmm …
That’s a little embarrassing … !
I’ve got to admit, USUALLY, I’m always fairly smug about the fact there’s not much in the way of malware doing the rounds that’ll affect OS X.
In point of fact, I think the last one was the Flashback trojan, back in September of last, that disguised itself as a version of the Flashplayer software from Adobe,
However, in recent weeks … ?
A variation on the theme, that took advantage of cross-platform programming language, Java, has recently been doing the rounds.
Apple have, of course, issued a patch for their implementation of the language.
But … ?
Well, I’d hit the Software Update button, if that update hasn’t shown up, already.
And to be on the safe side … ?
If you’ve not managed to do that, as yet? You can try this as an alternative …
Oh … And you can find out more, here …
Now, to quote Hill Street Blues … ?

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
