Windows as well), primarily disguised as a video flitting around
social networking sites. When users click an infected link, a
Java applet is launched that downloads multiple files, including
an installer that runs automatically without users' knowledge.

SecureMac, appears as a message on social networking sites such
as Facebook that reads, "Is this you in this video?" When the
user clicks the link, a Java applet runs, allowing the system to
download several files and install a program that can bypass the
usual password verification OS X requires for installation.

I think you should change the title of the post because it
effects Windows aswell.
But more importantly, how will this virus infect my computer if
I accidently get it (I'm not stupid enough to but what the hell)
