A new tool has been released by security firm F-Secure which will check a Mac for signs of the Flashback Trojan and, importantly, remove it. Best of all, the app is completely free, that’s right, free!
Facebook is in the news a lot recently, with the social network splashing the cash to acquire photo sharing platform, Instagram. One of the reasons the company was in the news last year, the new Timeline feature, is now the subject of a Microsoft-made website, too.
If you are worried that you may have fallen foul of the FlashBack Trojan, there is now an incredibly easy way to check your system after a new app was released for just that task.
With the new iPad having only recently released in the middle of last month, there will surely be a few blank home screens crying out for an injection of apps, and with the deals Best Buy is currently running on iTunes credit, now could just be the best time to fill in those empty spaces.
Remember those murmurings about the possibility of the Mac getting a Cydia-like store? Well, considering the amount of time that has passed with no further updates about the legitimacy of the project, it would seem that we can put that idea in the 'nice but isn't likely to happen' pile.

The company is enjoying such a tremendous run of success with their mobile and Mac products and have seen their stock price soar in recent weeks, but that doesn't mean that the position of CEO doesn't come with its fair share of stress. After being in the position full-time for the last seven months, it seems that Tim Cook is settling in rather nicely if the latest employee opinion polls are anything to go by.
