Flashback Malware Installer Screen Shot
No secret that Tech Mamma loves her mac, and as more of us have jumped on the Macwagon, evildoers are more interested too.
The latest threat is a piece of malware that looks like an innocent Flash installer, but is much more. Because Apple doesn’t ship computers with Flash installed, this one can easily fool users.
The team at CNET has a great FAQ with links to a free diagnostic tool to determine whether you have it, and how to get rid of it.
Tech Mamma ran the diagnostic herself, just in case. The Dr. Web utility said her mac was ok and about 2% of machines it checked were infected.
Safe surfing!
Love, Tech Mamma
The Tech Mamma challenge:
You know the drill… bring in the mail, sift through the pile of soon to be recycling junk and fish out the real mail while cursing the unwanted junk.
There is nothing worse than reaching into your purse, briefcase or gear pack and pulling out a mess of earphone wires. Save your sanity and keep those sensitive slim wires in working order, with these ideas. 
The free iWatchLife app is something to check out. It works with your existing webcam (or you can purchase one of their IP cameras) and wirelessly monitors and broadcasts video footage from your home internet connection.
