Apple Releases Security Update to Address Mac Defender
Today Apple released Security Update 2011-003 a software update to affect the issue with Mac Defender. The information for the development of OS X 10.6.8 seems to indicate it will contain the ability to detect and remove variants of the Mac Defender. I guess this update is to get a solution out to the Mac community as soon as possible.

The Snow leopard OS by Mac is fantastic. The install was a bit of an issue but now that I got it up and running i seem to be good to go.
