1) SH/Renepo-A 'Opener'
2) MP3Virus.Gen
And?

as you said. there are only few. google for em.

what is the purpose of this?

Only two?

You know, if you have questions or whatever, make a better, more thought out post.

I can understand alot of crap people put out, but don't understand what the hell your post is about.

Not only that, but technically neither of them is a virus, since they cannot spread on their own. To my knowledge, there are no "true" viruses for OS X in existence.

Yeah that's what I know too

You know the MP3 one is just concept and is not even in the wild.

Neither of those is a virus.

Virii don't have to spread on their own, that would make it a worm?

These are more like Trojans with evil intent.

both require the user to activate, and one of them requires you to enter your administrator password + user name to delete your Home folder.

None of these can spread over a network / infect other files.

Yes, Opener is trojan app, but MP3Virus.Gen is a "virus"... really...

There is a very short list of virii for the Mac I'm not sure its even published but they aren't very dangerous and most of them are Macro Virii for Microsoft Word, see what happens when we let them infect our computers.

there are no true virii for os x. yet. some will tell you this is because so few people use os x that it's not worth it, but if you were the first person to make a virus for os x, that'd be one hell of a reputation...

To be a virus it has to infect other files, it cannot do this. Therefore it is not a virus, there naming of it is ultimately flawed.

MP3.Virus.Gen is a .app file which has a masked extension as a .mp3 it also has an icon for a music file, when you open it, it goes to work and says "enter user name and password" holy cow a MP3 with the latest anti piracy protection? No its not the RIAA, this time its intego, the creators of this "Concept" "Virus".

If you don't know Intego are a antivirus / firewall company for macintosh. they created this "virus" to get into the news and make people buy there product (they succeeded in getting some macintosh noobs to buy there software)

Anyway no Virus for Mac Os X exists. There is 1 Trojan on the loose though. OH NOES!

No, no... you're not right. Mp3Virus.Gen is a virus! That app can infect some mp3 files.

"Opener" is a bsd script and "Opener" says "enter root password".

Listen, Darnassus, most of the people who have been replying to you obviously have much more knowledge about this than you do, so stop arguing the point with them. HERE is Symantec's page about MP3Virus.Gen, which clearly states that it is NOT a virus, but a trojan horse. It CANNOT infect other files.

edit: here is the quote from that page, in case you can't be bothered to follow the link.

Sorry, if "It CANNOT infect other files." is true, then MP3Virus.Gen is a trojan app...
And maybe that virus wasn't named "Mp3Virus.Gen", but I know that virus...

what!?

I know real virus, but it isn't Mp3Virus.Gen. Maybe I'm wrong and there're only two trojan apps...

virus - requires a person to send it elsewhere
worm - sends itself elsewhere

From what I can gather, both of those sound like Trojans.
