Another reason: the Apple "fix" only works on 10.6.8 or newer. Those who don't wish to upgrade (because the performance is worse) are left vulnerable, and perhaps haven't kept up on the other removal methods.

No computer seems to be safe. Just need the right kind of equipment to fight hackers.

Good i think hackers should continue to hack mac's. There over prized computers. And maybe Tim Cook and the Apple team should lower the price so more people can enjoy. Its sad when i can get to desktop pc's for the price of one apple laptop.. Mac's been compremized as bad as my spelling and maybe this will show them that they have no choice! But hell they ain't going to do any way's....

HAHAHAHAHA!!
I always hear the argument that Apple is better because they never get infected with viruses...the truth is that Apple users are never allowed you to do anything to get a virus, but since Apple's users are so "pampered and elite" they click on the first email they see from their long lost uncle who amazingly happens to also be the Prince of Nigeria and left you millions after his death. All you need to do is download this claim form attachment and then go to your bank's website and the money will instantly be there. Hahahaha it doesn't help that Apple security sucks so now they'd better wake up and get with the times. Apple freaks are so oblivious to anything non-Apple and willingly pay tons of money to have a basic device and pay more to have basic features and to have everything thought out for them Apple's got it made...they make a basic device and then lay around for awhile until they decide that they want to come out with their own limited version of a feature that's already included in most devices to begin with what should have been yours to begin with and they charge you for it. Oooh, but Apple finally came out with something new and "flashy" and it's so that you're forced to keep giving them money for stuff that you should be able to do for free. I've always believed that Apple users are just simple minded and needed Steve Jobs to think for them. People go through so much crap just to get the new thing from Apple when in reality, no matter the product, there's a better and cheaper one that you don't have to camp out for two days and fight for. And the iPhones, you can't customize your system, can't even add anything like an extended battery or more memory, you're stuck with less to start with than the lower end Androids and at least with them you can add memory and extensions...you really can't do jack. You Apple people are seriously BRAINWASHED or something. Apple throws you a bone and releases an app or feature and you get all excited and even pay for it, but you're so isolated from anything outside of the "Apple bubble ecosystem" that you don't even know that with the Android, all of those capabilities are already there. Anything is possible...you just have to be smart enough to figure it out.
