Tweaked Trojan Disables Automatic Updating of OS X Anti-Malware Tools

[Birdy1062]

Same here. I'm also concerned because I got a pop-up saying my Flash Player was out of date. I cancelled that window and went to the System Preferences app (MacOSX 10.6.8) and used the Flash Player pref pane to see if I needed to update to a newer version by clicking "check now". Needed to update so I DL'd it from Adobe and installed.

But as mentioned by poster I quoted I also can't find the com.apple.xprotectupdater.plist file.

Never mind... operator error. I was looking in wrong Library. It's there so I'm OK.

I have to say it's annoying that a third party app is the weak spot my OS security.

Where did you find it? Still unable to locate it.....

When was your last XProtect updated?

Apparently the last update to XProtect was on October 11th.

Not back in late September.

Is this true?

XProtect checks daily for updates but the file containing the definitions is only modified if new definitions are added.

Around Oct 11 was the most recent addition of a new definition to the list.
