Two security vendor, Sophons and ESET, note that the new version of Macdefender circulating now no longer ask the administrator password. First discovered in early May, this Trojan attack Mac users who enter into a fake Web site by following the search results that have been cheated.

In its advisory, Apple said that the requests an administrator password provides a good opportunity for users to cancel the installation of fake antivirus software. But now the attack has no longer asks for the password. This is similar to the way the hackers breaking into Windows computers that avoid UAC (user account control) warnings.

Now, the installation will be active when you go on the search results that are not clean. And once installed, the malware will prompt you to enter credit card information to purchase the software.

Clark from ESET recommends users to turn off the option 'open safe files after downloading' in the Mac system, at least until Apple released a security update that has been promised. Another threat which is also known by the name Macsecurity and Macguardian has changed rapidly since it was first detected.

Sapphire Toxic HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCIe Review

Graphics Card from Sapphire using the name 'Toxic', Sapphire Toxic HD 6850 PCIE 1GB GDDR5 has accelerators clock and locally memory which is higher than AMD reference. It is running the accelerator at 820MHz instead of 775MHz and local memory at 2200MHz not 2000MHz. Unfortunately, it also needs more power: 2 ports 6 pin PCIExpress additional resources. Compared with Radeon HD 6850 standard that only need 1.

Hardware physically is large enough to need a 2 slot cooler. Cards design follows the reference, while the coolant is made in Sapphire, although similar with the reference. For output, there are 2 DVI, HDMI, and 2 Mini DisplayPort. This output option, also power need, similar with the Radeon HD 6870. Stream processor? It turns out 960, same as the Radeon HD 6850. DirectX 11, AMD Eyefi nity, also AMD HD3D technology -AMD's 3D view style are also supported.

The overall performance of this graphics card is good and certainly better than the standard version. As further overclock at 850MHz (accelerator) and 2400MHz (local memory), the score actually dropped. Looks like the clock of the Sapphire is the most good.
