Inqtana-B is not a virus. It's just a script/separate application that gets run. Every OS is susceptible to these.

RavMonE is for Windows, not OS X.

Leap-A is not a virus. It's just a script/separate application that gets run. Every OS is susceptible to these.

They're also ridiculously easy to remove since its just a script you remove. Since they don't infect any files or anything, it makes it a breeze.


On top of that, the two files would only affect your current user. It would not interfere with any system operation or cause any total system failure.

you might want to dig a little deeper into what effect those 3 have had on Apple products.

No thanks. They aren't viruses. There's no point to dig into them. I've already read how they work and they're hardly harmful to your system. My whole statement was that Macs can't get viruses.

That second one still has nothing to do with OS X. It's a virus for Windows that just happened to come with some iPods or something. It didn't affect OS X at all.

Again, I said "apple products". You might want to dig a bit deeper.

Ok, I looked deeper. You said Macs.


My original statement about Macs and Viruses came from a reply to Kage. You then replied stating they get them. I then followed up with the previous replies, which all led up to this point.
