Product Description:

Scans media files for the resources that Mac OS X uses to locate code within an application. There's some concern that Trojan horse programs can be hidden in certain media files (MP3, AAC, GIF, JPEG). There are plenty of other ways to disguise programs as other sorts of files so unsuspecting users can be tricked into running them, but if this particular issue is a concern Trojan Wrangler will let you scan any downloaded media files for hidden code.

What's new in this version:

First release. Files can be scanned using a File/Open dialog, or by drag and drop onto the application. The UI is not pretty, but it should do the job.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

Mac OS X. Tested on 10.3.3 and 10.2.8
but should work on any version.

"Isn't it smarter if Anti-Virus companies started to make anti-virus software for future virusses?"

Actually.. I think it would be smarter (for business) if anti-virus companies started making virii themselves. Sure would up their demand, and ensure sales.

I have speculated that Norton has been to blame for more than half the virii on windows for a long time. ~_^

After Type & Creator have been erased the "virus.mp3" behaves just as a normal MP3 file.
