On April 2012, the myth that Mac is far away from virus has completely come to an end with the birth of a kind of Trojan called flashback Trojan.


Flashback has become the largest and most stubborn enemy to Mac. According to relative report, there are more than 600,000 Mac were attacked, even the Apple headquarter has 274 been affected by it. It is the most horrible virus as it can automatic intrude upon system without any user action (without any prompting, no administrator password).

Though a number of amendments and updates were launched to cope with Flashback, and these defensive measures did help killing this stubborn Trojan.

Also Magican can be set to automatically scan and automatically shut down after the full scan.
