Hi i installed virusbarrier plus from the app store.

does it work when its not active?

[IntegoVideo]

@GADGETRONsc VirusBarrier Plus only scans your files on demand. it doesn't work on background. If you want a real time scanner, you may need VirusBarrier X6.

Comparison, go to:  intego . com / vbcompare

Get Mac users to download a rogue anti-virus program by showing them a fake Windows scan? Damn the new generation of virus programmers are fucking stupid.

[blipp]

Anyone believing an application that shows a Windows interface instead of Mac ON A MAC is fucking retarded and deserves to get their CC stolen. Idiots.

@iAppleseedy

yes, he could, but then it would still be both charging him and would be running off the same derivative OS..

[iAppleseedy]

@betheperson1 I meant, maybe he just used a virtual machine to show us what the virus does. That way, his real machine (his mac) is not affected.

@IntegoVideo Mr. IntegoVideo, can you tell me where I could download this virus? I'm interested in getting infected.
