An outbreak of a trojan called "Flashback" has occurred, which imitates a Flash Player installer. It can obtain passwords from users, along with important information. Here's an article about it:<br><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://mashable.com/2012/04/11/mac-flashback-trojan-effects/">http://mashable.com/2012/04/11/mac-flashback-trojan-effects/</a></span><br><br>I found something on how to remove it, which should show up on the first page of a Google search. The only other known Mac virus I can think of is the Oompa Loompa virus, but you would be able to tell once you hear the Oompa Loompa song looping in the
