jesse_the_k: Callum Keith Rennie shouts "Fuck no!"  (Fuck no sez CKR!)
today I learned that the shareware software distribution sites like Versiontracker and MacUpdate are no longer reliable places to download trial software. They've moved to a "get $$$ to inject malware into our downloads" business model.

Can't prove which one did it, but something loaded MacKeeper in Safari, and now my Mac is yelling at me to buy something from them to get ride of itself.

So now I need to erase and restore my Mac. I backed up last night, hope the backup isn't infected, I may be offline for a few days.

If you have any wisdom, feel free to email my username at his domain!
