How to find and remove the OSX.RSPlug.A malware
Authored by: codymae on Fri, May 2 2008 at 9:21PM PDT

having followed the instructions to the letter, I believe I have gotten rid of the trojan that was hiding in my iMac. (Please DON'T say anything about being stupid and downloading the thing in the first place - the person who did it has been BANNED from the computer for a month.)

However, I have had strange problems with my printer and my internet connection all day since doing it. Is this just coincidence, or could there be some connections?

thanks for any input...
