How to find and remove the OSX.RSPlug.A malware
type sudo crontab -r and provide your admin password when asked. This deletes the root cron job that checks the DNS Server settings...as well as any other, potentially legitimate, root cron jobs. Granted, most programs use other methods for scheduling (LaunchDaemons or the like), and the default OS X install has no root crontab, but this is still a potential issue that one should be aware of. For most people though, this command should be safe. ---

Intel iMac, Mac OS X 10.4.10 - McAfee VirusScan v8.5 (formerly known as Virex). I have the "VirusScan Schedule Editor" component set to do a DAT eUpdate every working day (I work for a university). Your "sudo crontab -l" produces the following output: # Virex Schedule Editor Task 0928200710133194632 10 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /usr/local/vscanx/VShieldScheduleLauncher -i 09282007101331946 >/dev/null 2>&1
Although I'm actually in IT support, I hadn't specifically known that it used cron to achieve its results.
