|  OSX.Inqtana.A detected on Symantec.com
i have NIS06 and just updated virus def and after updating virus def i read »securityresponse.symantec.com/av···a.a.html and NIS06 detected a virus on my system who ever has NIS06 dont worry if your NIS06 detects OSX as a virus its mistake by symantec virus def or NIS06 is detecting virus by its name (this means if u have XP) actually there is no virus! |

The screenshot above is what happened when I went to the page in the above link. NOTE: It happened again when I clicked the link contained in the NIS alert, too. However, the screenshot does NOT produce an alert.
EDIT to add: This is with XP/Pro and obviously a FP since this virus affects the MAC OS.
