I suppose that Mac users were surprised when they heard that the Mac Defender virus infected so many computers and probably did not imagine how someone could install a malware by themselves. In the video clip above we have a demonstration of how Mac Defender works and notice that for a novice user it is quite easy to confuse Mac Defender with an antivirus solution. Mac Defender is specially built to give the impression that it is in reality an application that scans for viruses in users' Macs, although in fact it does nothing but infect the computer. An experienced user would not have fallen prey to a malware like Mac Defender, but not all of us are experienced users.

Apple has solved for a few hours the problems caused by Mac Defender and I say "for a few hours" because a new version of the malware was already released yesterday and of course Apple's security update cannot block it. Be very careful not to get infected with Mac Defender, watch the first video clip, remember what the whole scam looks like and don't install programs like this on your Mac because Apple usually doesn't provide support in situations like this .
