The information is contained in the link I provided, but just to reiterate:


Flashback Trojan - Detection and Removal

Users with Intel Macs running Snow Leopard OS 10.6 or Lion OS 10.7 should ensure that they have downloaded all the recent Java updates from Apple, which are designed to prevent infection and also remove any infection already present.

New Macs running Lion do not have either Flash Player nor Java installed. If you running Lion and have not already downloaded and installed Java, you should download the ‘Flashback malware removal tool’ from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5246 (356KB) which includes the same code as the Java update that plugged a security hole which allowed the malware to automatically install itself without admin authorization.


You can also use this to check whether you have been infected (for Intel Macs only) and remove it if required:

Flashback Trojan - Detection, and how to remove (with caution) if you are running other browsers than Safari:

When I click on the link Klaus1 provided, and that you put in your post just above this one, it takes me to the anti-flashback trojan program on the macupdate web site. I think it's time to reset your browser, delete the cache, delete private data ... just clean house, then shut down, and start again.

I click on your link and it still takes me to MacUpdate.


One of the signs of having the trojan is, I believe, it redirecting to away from helpful sites. You don't say anything about which operating system you are running but I believe there are Apple updates for taking care of the issue.


F-Secure's Flashback removal tool - http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan-downloader_osx_flashback_k.shtml - supposedly also works on OSX 10.5 and earlier.


Apple's Flashback removal and Java update for Intel Macs OSX 10.6 and 10.7- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5242 actual file at: Java for OS X Lion 2012-003 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1515


Flashback malware removal tool for Lion users who do not have Java installed - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1517
