OK - don't panic, everything is probably fine, but if you're on a Mac it's worth checking this out. I posted about it here, but most people probably won't make the connection:
http://forums.gpsfiledepot.com/index.php?topic=2771.msg16548#newWhen GPSFileDepot was recently hacked, it appeared pretty innocuous and only resulted in users being redirected to some harmless looking sites. Now I have learned that these sites are included in the ones which have been spreading a Mac virus/trojan that's been getting a lot of publicity:
http://news.yahoo.com/more-600-000-macs-infected-flashback-malware-report-091608469.htmlTo check if your Mac is infected, open the Terminal program (found in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder). Paste the following command into terminal
defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment
Hit the return key and now paste this command into Terminal
defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
If you get a response saying that the domain/pair does not exist for each of these, you are not infected. The strange thing is that if you have Microsoft Office 2008, Office 2011 or Skype on your Mac, evidently the virus won't get installed. Maybe that's why I'm clean?
Apple has issued a software update to close this vulnerability. If I understand correctly, it should also remove the virus if present. The same virus also affects Windows machines and has been around for awhile, so hopefully you will be OK there if your antivirus software is up to date.
