Yikes, it looks like I may have a Trojan
In the middle of reading a story on my local newspaper's website last night, all of a sudden I get what appears to be a virus scan running under the name of Immunizator. I couldn't get it stopped. The only thing I could do was an "emergency" shutdown, restart & shut down were blocked by the darn thing. It was so late I really didn't want to deal with it, so I thought I would try this afternoon.
After doing a "google" for "immunizator", it does look like it's some type of Mac OsX Trojan. I have gone through, sending the app to the trash, & all of the .dmg junk. When I tried to empty the "trash", this stuff has the "empty" option blocked, so I did a "force empty" with Leopard Cache Cleaner which appeared to work. "Appeared" is the key word. When I use "finder" to look up the key word, "immunizator", the **** thing still opens up on my system. I'm now totally confused, lost, whatever as to what I need to do to get rid of this, ONCE & FOR ALL! Help is greatly appreciated.
