[Hidden-tech] MacDefender details from Apple

[Chris Hoogendyk]

Apple just (yesterday) put out a support article on the Mac Defender malware: 
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4650.

This article gives detailed step by step instructions on how to avoid installing the malware and on 
how to remove it if you accidentally installed it already.

The article also indicates that Apple will be releasing a Mac OS X software update that will 
automatically find and remove the malware and its known variants as well as providing an explicit 
warning if users try to download the malware.
