Den utlovade uppdateringen som skyddar mot MacDefender har nu släppts av Apple. Vid första anblicken får man inte mycket information om själva uppdateringen men läser man vidare i Apples supportdokument hittar man bland annat följande:

“The OSX.MacDefender.A definition has been added to the malware check within File Quarantine. The system will check daily for updates to the File Quarantine malware definition list. An opt-out capability is provided via the “Automatically update safe downloads list” checkbox in Security Preferences.”

“The installation process for this update will search for and remove known variants of the MacDefender malware. If a known variant was detected and removed, the user will be notified via an alert after the update is installed.”
