Symantec and Kaspersky are two of the largest producers of antivirus solutions in the world and recently announced that the number of Macs infected by the Flashback virus would have dropped to 30.000. Well, the company that initially discovered the Trojan and declared the number of Macs infected by it, says that in reality, almost 600.000 Macs would still be infected, despite Apple's efforts to solve the problem. Neither Symantec nor Kaspersky commented on the claims of the Russian company, but why would both companies be so wrong?
Well, it seems that more and more new Macs are registered by the Russian servers and the number continues to be high because these Macs were not registered at the first count. Basically, the Russians say that 566.773 Macs are still infected with the Flashback Trojan, but the real figure could be 1 million considering that they are starting to see new Macs that until recently had not connected to the Internet or had not yet been infected. If we follow Symantec and Kaspersky, then the problem is solved, but if we follow the Russians, then Apple still has a lot of work to do.
We don't know the truth, but someone has way too much information here.
