Have been having some issues lately and just read about flashback. I saw a patch was available, but only for more recent OS, not 10.5.8. I do keep getting an Adobe pop up, so that is why I am suspecting flashback. I'm computer illiterate. I use mine for email, Word documents, photos and iTunes. So any suggestions welcome - particularly if they are presented in a manner that a 6 year old could understand.
MacBook (13-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Install ClamXav.
One of the first things Flashback does is look for AV software. If it finds any, it deletes itself.
ClamXav Is free and safe.

Depends on the 6 year old! 🙂
As for the Flashback Trojan, you should be able to prevent infection by disabling Java (not Javascript) in Safari Preferences/Security and also turning off 'Open safe files after downloading' in Safari Preferences/General.
