Another Mac virus-DevilRobber.A
Interesting that there is more interest in Mac viruses.
I wonder if this means that Mac anti-virus companies have a stronger case to make for purchase of their software? Thanks Intego!

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard font management
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard font management. This has a great deal of information about using fonts like truetype, dfont, and others. It has over 70 comments, so you can learn a great deal about common problems and solutions. Applications like Adobe, Quark and others can require some special work to get fonts to work properly. I like Font Explorer X the best, and the last time I checked it was $49 per user.
That MAC Defender/Mac Security Malware discussed on Macintouch
That MAC Defender/Mac Security Malware discussed on Macintouch. In the past 48 hours as I have been surfing SU sites, I have been forced to download anti-malware.zip twice. No choice, just immediate download. This is the most aggressive Mac virus I have seen for quite a while.
An error occured during decyption (An error occured during copying.) FileVault won’t be turned off for this account.”
It turns out that this error will occur when you don’t have as much free space as the space your home folder occupies. Either delete things or clone to a bigger disk. Thanks WZZZ.

The computer freezes on 10.6.3 and later due to VirusBarrier…
Mikolaj found that anti-virus program VirusBarrier was the problem. I haven’t have any problem with Sophos and love it. That makes Virex, Macafee for Mac, and Symantec known problems to make stability.
Well – it seems I didn’t remove ALL the VirusBarrier files… I used AppZapper, but it didn’t find everything – mainly preferences and preference panes, as well as other things which, so it seems, checked my computer for viruses so thoroughly they made it freeze. When I found them by myself, by checking everything in the Library for everything Intego-related, and thrashed them, the freezing stopped. It’s two weeks now and no freeze at all… Looks like VirusBarier is to blame. Perhaps is it a conflict with some other app on my mac, but I’d beware of installing it on my disk again…
