iWorkServices.pkg
Posted January 23, 2009
411-Spyware is talking about the iWorkServices.pkg Trojan. The good news is those of you use Windows don’t have to worry about it. The bad news is those of you with Apple Mac’s are vulnerable.
It seems that iWorkServices.pkg is spread through in a fake iWork09 trial program called iWork09.zip. Once it’s on your computer, it contacts a list of hackers leaving them to do what they want on your computer.
Although 411-Spyware has instructions to manually remove iWorkServices.pkg, the site is geared toward Windows users so it won’t be of much help. You could hit an Apple forum to see what others have done to remove it however I recommend that you run MacScan to remove iWorkServices.pkg. MacScan will also protect your Mac from future threats that sadly will increase in number.
(FYI: for some links to software we receive a commission. This is one of them. But we wouldn’t recommend MacScan if we didn’t think it would help.)
