STOP BLOODY SCARE MONGERING! "Theres new varients of the RSPlug virus detected every week" what a load of rubbish, yes maybe 3-4 months but every wekk is a bit OTT

[IntegoVideo]

what you're saying sir is not correct, the release history of each variants shows you that it's "at least" once a week, sometimes twice a week... 20090505 OSX/RSPlug.I 20090520 OSX/RSPlug.J 20090622 OSX/RSPlug.K 20090625 OSX/RSPlug.L 20090629 OSX/RSPlug.M 20090721 OSX/RSPlug.N 20090817 OSX/RSPlug.O 20090819 OSX/RSPlug.P 20090824 OSX/RSPlug.Q (all with 3 differents sha1 .dmg files)

Urgent - I got the video one where it downloaded the plugin, and it put a DMG on my desktop, but I didn't open it, i deleted it right away. Am I infected? Or do you need to open the dmg and run the installer to get it???

[IntegoVideo]

If you didn't install the DMG with the MacCinema installer & type your admin passw during the installation, you won't be infected.

If you have VirusBarrier, it will detect the trojan before you install it , and repair the infected files after, if you have already installed it without having an antivirus on your mac

@skaterguy1423 I'm not mad at you.

[skaterguy1423]

@BIGBPRODUCTIONS100 lol i i have a pc because it has the features i want :D. i need 3rd party apps which mac os dont offer. i also need high end video cards games and 3d video making. however i do use itunes...only cause of the fact i got traped in apples protected mpeg-4 files which dont work with wmc. dude macs are just shinny and have a few apps that apple made to make it look good. and all the "Stable macs" have 1066 memory which most pc oems dont have. but i installed myself. i love my pc.

[ItsLuisLOL]

@MrPchacker1 LOL. JUST LOL.

[theshinywolf]

@Bioniclemaster1998 it is lol.

[experimental0000]

@iMacwizzo I agree that it sounds a bit much for the variant to be there every week, and this vid sounds like a scam to me to get users to download more crap, however it does raise a point that Mac's aren't invincible like fanboys prefer to troll the web with. (same can be said for all Oses too, not just Mac)

[MrPchacker1]

macs cant get viruses cuz there is no viruses out for mac maybe some day they will have one buts as of now there none and if there wuz there be a update 2 fix it

[BIGBPRODUCTIONS100]

@MrPchacker1 So there's ways around every thing if you don't like something like Quick time player or iTunes that's like a person saying i hate typing and sending emails and i can't stand computers but turn around and send a text on a cell phone just because it has that feature.

[BIGBPRODUCTIONS100]

@MrPchacker1 You no you are absolutely right but i see a lot of people miss understood me so let me be more specific i don't have anything against PC users i had a PC my self windows vista but when i did own my laptop i never trashed talk about apple or there products so my thing is if a person hate something so much why use it like a phone why use and iPhone when you can use a HTC or Blackberry that's like with me i have a cadillac but i don't hate on BMW or AUDI cars witch i love.

[MrPchacker1]

@BIGBPRODUCTIONS100 the only reason people use itunes is cuz most of them have ipodz and 4 the quick time it comes with itune an u have to have it with itunes



[supermario12312]

@BIGBPRODUCTIONS100 Derp. This made me lol like i've never lol'd before.

So, let me get this straight: If a Windows user uses Apple's slow-ass program on their PC, they hate Windows? SO, in order to <3 Windows, I have to use Microsoft's shitty offering. What about Open-source, third party media viewers like VLC? OHOH and we complain because we can't afford a Mac? Wow. If I wanted to pay an absurd sum of money for outdated hardware, I totally would and could! Go back under your bridge, troll.
