I wanted to bring it to attention, as there was a belief that Mac's were immune from auto-installed malware.
This is not a stab at Mac, Apple, Windows, smart people, stupid people or any other majority or minority.
Just a timely reminder to all, that system patching is an absolute must nowadays. You cannot wait until it "has been tested", "is safe", " is 3 months down the track", or until my friend, mother, brother, cousin etc reminds me.
The advanced malware writers discover the holes, the poor malware writers wait until the holes are published by the OS, App vendor, then write new malware on the expectation that 98% of the population wont patch quickly.
Oh, and if you think you dont go to malicous websites, remember that an infection can come from the ads on websites, the adverstisers site gets compromised, malware is injected in to the ad, ad is read by thousands of computers across multiple sites
