I have recd this on another Group: could be useful to all:
Trojan.OSX.RSPlug. A through G.
Suggest the following corrections and additions to your information:
1) There is no free Mac compatible scanner for malware at F-Secure. Please remove the link.
2) There is a very good free Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard malware scanner from PC Tools called iAntiVirus that has been kept up-to-date. I highly recommend it to everyone running Leopard. You can download it here:
iAntiVirus - Free AntiVirus for Mac
3) There is also a free scanner and removal tool from macscan.securemac.com called 'DNSChangerRemovalTool'. You can download it here:
DNSChanger Trojan Horse Removal - OSX.RSPlug.A OSX/Puper
However, I would not count on it detecting every version of Trojan.OSX.RSPlug. The MacScan folks have only documented 5 of its 7 variations.
4) ClamAV is IMHO essentially worthless for detecting Mac OS X malware. My last evaluation of their malware definition list indicated that it is nearly a year and a half out-of-date.
5) Another name for Trojan.OSX.RSPlug.E is Jahvah-A. This is the name used by Sophos.
6) The malware naming system remains chaotic, despite the fact that a standardized naming convention has already been established.
7) Determining a complete list of malware for Mac has been equally chaotic and unverifiable due to the unwillingness of a few anti-malware providers to share data and malware definitions.
For example, I am only aware of a '.G' version of Trojan.OSX.RSPlug because it is listed at PCTools.com. I have been unable to find any detailed description of its specific features.
8) The term 'Anti-Virus' is now antiquated. The correct term is:
Anti-Malware
This is because viruses are now a minor portion of the plethora of dangerous computer software. Other forms of malware include Trojans, worms, bots, spyware and adware.
9) The best 3rd party Mac security information sources I have found are SANS.org and Secunia.com. Both have extremely useful email newsletters.
