It successfully detected the adware now bundled with MPlayerX. My partner and I would probably both have spotted it, but if it was a silent installer instead of a deceptive click-through there would have been zero sign until the adware was already on the system. These days a lot of threats seem to be formerly semi-reputable entities deciding to sell out and voluntarily include malware/adware. I'm sure more than a few people have been saved from Sourceforge's choice to do it to other people's software as well. Viruses and worms aren't that common on Macs, but deceptive malware & trojans are all over the place.
