Apple: Virus, the giant admits the problem

After the official denials in recent days, Apple has had to admit the presence of virus in the system, which now becomes more like an untouchable time but assumes a more normal and less alien. The Cupertino company has in fact published a guide that allows users to prevent and combat such threats, which until now had not yet seen such a massive dose on the Mac is hoped that this release can reach more people and the latter strictly apply the advice given by the manufacturer to prevent any kind of problem, as far as possible.

As with other systems here could trigger a race to the most effective malware hackers around the world, a little like the case for the Trojans a few years ago, which marked the birth of this negative phenomenon, and Corruption Cast theft of personal data within users' PCs, all unaware that they can only provide clean up the memory or to perform a more rigorous system format.

Turning to the press release announced by Apple, the advice given them are more or less the same that we gave us a few days ago, when the American company categorically refuted any kind of malware problem. The first tip is actually granted, the company that alarm users are warned by providing data for credit cards or other mobile payment that may have potential for fraudulent cloning, this would be the ultimate goal of the hackers who have endeavored this system .

As they say sometimes it is better to cut his hand rather than a finger, this is the essence of what Apple is doing that, having found the weak point in Mac Defender of the system will release an update to Mac OS that allows you to locate and delete the software finally indicted, this will serve to dispel any doubt for the moment on possible attempts to steal data or other kinds of fraud and breach of privacy.

The hope is that this happens in a short time managed to stem the problem, in fact we do not know how effective this application but it will be helpful for less experienced users who can clean up your PC from viruses automatically. The manufacturer is led by Steve Jobs sure that the new system will be able to launch an alert whenever you need to remove a threat on Mac Defender, it is hoped to deter hackers who are working diligently to devise a new method to hit the system insurmountable, at least in theory.

Do not underestimate the damage that image could not be Apple if this virus is eliminated relatively quickly, this would lead people to reconsider the offer of the Apple computer, until now considered unassailable and we are justified in their price compared to exaggerated other terminals of the same potential, but now the manufacturer is definitely the moment of truth arrived, showing whether the promises were made on a solid foundation will be repeated or if a case similar to Sony, with obvious differences.

Reiterate the advice that is never to give out credit card numbers and be careful whenever a site requires this information, consider that there are the safeguards and precautions had to be part of the same and that our security is not easy to breach. Recall that download software updates are important to the system is necessary to maintain a high level of protection and security, but that it must come from reliable sources, preventing programs from sites and unofficial versions without authorization from the manufacturer to distribute .
