Second Mac OS X pest found
Antivirus vendor F-Secure this morning reported a second
Mac OS X pest, Inqtana,
which spreads primarily using Bluetooth. Yesterday, antivirus researchers reported the first Mac OS X virus, Mac OS X Leap, which uses Apple's iChat to attempt to download an infected image file. Of the two, Mac OS X users should consider Leap to be the greater risk. Leap can cause some Mac applications not to run and, in some instances, crash the infected machine.
