I think I have been infected. How to find out and how to remove? I remember installing a flash update yesterday when asked to do so.

Why publish anything about Macs??? We all know that they never have any virus or trojan problems. Just ask one of the liars, er, I mean Mac users

A patch that cleans it will always turn up along with the regular OS X patches and junk.

You probably weren't infected. How were you prompted, and what site were you visiting when were you prompted?

Or, you know, you can install the 'antivirus' from the site that the article cites, from the people who 'discovered' it, that promises to 'fix it', very similar to previous OS X antivirus scareware.
