There are a couple of in-the-wild nuisances for current versions of Mac OS X. We've encountered Mac Defender, Genieo, Trovi, and others on client systems. Due to the architecture of Mac OS X, manually finding and removing these things once they're installed can be difficult at best. There are plist files hidden all over the place that can be used to launch and relaunch processes and lots of other nooks and crannies for malware to hide.
