I downloaded and installed the Flashback malware removal tool; now what? Is there some dialogue like.... your clean or something?

Is there a dialogue from the downloaded Flashback malware removal tool; like your clean, or your system has been scaned and .......etc.?

It would help to know what you downloaded and from whom (provide a link).


There's this site:


Flashback Trojan - Detection, and how to remove - http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader_osx_flashback_k.shtml


which has a link to a tool that you have to run as an application.


There's Apple's site where you run an updater (wither independently or through Software Update) which is also supposed to handle things.
