Finding out if you are infected
Authored by: bdm on Nov 01, '04 11:14:28PM

Your comment is quite correct:
sudo ls -l /Users/*/Public/.info
is NOT a correct check for file of that form.

To do it in a single command, use this:
sudo sh -c 'ls -l /Users/*/Public/.info'
(including the single quotes). That way the * is not expanded until sudo has established the right privileges.
