Mac’s iAdware – not blocked by Security Update 2006-007
December 5th, 2006 by Juha-Matti, Filed under: Apple, Commentary, Web
There have been some erroneous forum discussions that Apple’s Security Update 2006-007 released last week will block the Mac ad/spyware iAdware (or OSX/Cosmac).
The update – and the Install component – doesn’t prevent iAdware from working.
The PoC was originally listed here:

-> Advisory #44, “Macrocosm.tar.gz – ‘Macrocosm (detected as OSX.PopUp.gen”
KF has posted the answer to Bugtraq list too.
