Default Flashback virus anyone?

i just tested both of my system drives main and clone

came out negative

over a million mac users now have the flashback trojan

here's how to test for it:

How Do You Check For It?
The first step is you need to check and see if your system is one of the 600,000 infected. More than half of those infected are in the United States and Canada, so if you are one of our readers in those countries, you really need to follow these steps. These steps were provided by the incredibly helpful and knowledgeable Jacqui Cheng at Ars Technica:
Launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities on your Mac. Then individually type or paste these three lines into the Terminal:
defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment
defaults read /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment
If the Terminal returns back to you lines that look like this:
The domain/default pair of (/Users/[yourusername]/.MacOSX/environment, DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES) does not exist
The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist
The domain/default pair of (/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info, LSEnvironment) does not exist
Then you’re home free and you’re not (yet) infected by Flashback.

Here's a script which does the same as the Terminal commands...
