Hi, Adrian here. I have a Mac, I love my Mac, and I still love my Mac despite my virus. This was an ugly reminder of my days in Windows-Hell, but it ended very quickly. Here’s my story:
My co-worker unsuspectingly gave me a virus that (ta-da!) is a result of something microsoft-related. Just a Macros Virus. It does not effect the Mac OS directly but it will damage your window’s-using co-worker’s computer if you send she or he an infected file.. Lucky for us Mac users, there’s a helpful tool you can download for free to help you get rid of your problem. (but please donate to them because they ROCK!)
It’s called ClamXav: link
I found it thanks to my new hero Outlandish Josh: link
…and it totally fixed my problem in an easy to use, awesome way. To quote Ice Cube, “I can’t believe, today was a good day.”
