INTEGO SECURITY MEMO - NOVEMBER 06, 2006 OSX.MACHARENA.A VIRUS Virus: OSX.MachArena.A virus (aka OSX.Macarena) Discovered: November 2, 2006 Risk: Very low Description: This proof-of-concept virus, which has not yet been seen in the wild, was published on a hacker Web site. The virus can only infect Intel-based OS X computers.
