Product Description:

As of the release of this software (April 12, 2004) there haven't been any positive conformations of any harmful media trojans. However, the technicality of such an attack is possible and the Macintosh community is likely to begin to see infected files in the near future due to their recent exposure. The Achaean can be used to find and remove these trojan viruses from media files. It is intended to be used to check newly, or recently, downloaded media files (such as MP3s) as they are more likely to house a trojan than older files. The Achaean supports all major audio, video and image formats, although MP3 files are most subject to housing a trojan because the trojan's executable code can be easily hidden inside their ID3 tags.

It rips through 400MB of MP3 and AVI files on milliseconds! How could it possibly ever find anything in that blink of an eye!!??

I'd have to see PROOF that this isn't just a scam itself!

Drag n Drop folders a must! And a "Watch" folder as in StuffIt Expander would be cool too. Not much time left before the deluge...

It would be nice, if you could drag'n drop or select folders or volumes...
If you have more than 1 mp3-file, it takes a lot, lot, lot of time
