As you may already know, there was some crappy Trojan circling around, named Flashback Trojan. I am not getting too much into this, if you want more information just follow that link.
In this aticle I will just show you how to check if you have it or not. So, open the terminal and run the commands below (what is written in green):
MacBook-Pro:~ florian$ [color=green]defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES[/color] 2012-04-13 12:54:59.597 defaults[19850:707] The domain/default pair of (/Users/florian/.MacOSX/environment, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES) does not exist
MacBook-Pro:~ florian$ [color=green]defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment[/color] 2012-04-13 12:54:51.447 defaults[19841:707] The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist
MacBook-Pro:~ florian$ [color=green]defaults read /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment[/color] 2012-04-13 13:09:30.227 defaults[20814:707] The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist
If your applications are in different places, you can search for them, using find
or mdfind
. By the way, mdfind
is using spotlight and it's insanely faster.
MacBook-Pro:~ florian$ mdfind -onlyin / ' (kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == "com.apple.Safari") || (kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == "com.google.Chrome") || (kMDItemCFBundleIdentifier == "org.mozilla.firefox") ' /Applications/Internet/Firefox.app /Applications/Google Chrome.app /Applications/Safari.app
MacBook-Pro:~ florian$ find / -xdev \( -iname "google chrome.app" -o -iname "safari.app" -o -iname "firefox.app" \) -print 2>/dev/null /Applications/Google Chrome.app /Applications/Internet/Firefox.app /Applications/Safari.app
IF you get for all the output similar like on the examples above (with "does not exists"), you are ok.
If not, please read now to get rid of it here.
