No it doesn't. It pretends to be an anti-malware tool (every Mac user's alarm bells should be ringing by now) and then requires the user to provide an administrator password in order to get installed on the Mac – something the article "forgot" to mention. What it then installs is of course no anti-malware tool…

It does not somehow "infect" the computer, it get's installed by the user who steps through the application installer and provides admin credentials when asked.

You shouldn't pay too much attention to the tech tabloids, there is real information out there for those who want it.

Cheers
Steffen.
