While running the latest update of VirusBarrier 6, I got a positive for OSXBlackCat.gen exploit. Which seems to be RansomWear

I've been aware of a couple of mac viruses for awhile now but they involved you putting your admin password in to install, personally I don't consider giving permission to something a virus. I do know that right now there is something with google images I clicked on a pic and up popped a windows XP system scan saying I was infected it then asked for my password, which I did NOT give. I scanned with Norton and clamx neither found an infection. Any idea how you got this? If you weren't asked for your password thats scary.

'm running Sophos Anti-Virus live scan on my Mail and Downloads. It is finding an increase of malware in my junk folders
I think anyone not using an anti-virus should start
I think Mac's are losing their immunity

are these false positives? I'm not getting any of these but you may be right about losing the immunity
