Regarding the 'opener' malware script
so how exactly is this thing installed? Is this a case of someone downloading stolen software or MP3s that really install this little application?
Regarding the 'opener' malware script
You have to install it yourself, manually. Installation requires admin priviledges...so it shouldn't be easy to get fooled into installing it.
Regarding the 'opener' malware script
Opener can be disguised as a trojan in the form of an MP3 or stolen software-it can also be hidden in stolen software as an extra piece of code. You download it, run it and it does it's thing.
Regarding the 'opener' malware script
Malware such as "opener" can be placed into your StartupItems folder by any installer (even those you might find on such sites as VersionTracker) that requires an admin password. The new startup item will not necessarily be executed until you restart your Mac. All startup items are then executed with root rights.
Be very careful of everything that you install and backup regularly.
