Eblaster software removal and other issues

RolandSC

Anyone got experience of how to remove Eblaster and bolt ons from Mac system? It was installed by someone checking up on the users and was thus a "permitted" install. I don't believe the software provider when they say it is remotely removed, plus they have been getting text messages off of the Iphone when it connects to the Mac which wasn't a feature of the software. FInal thought the mail reports, now seen, do not look like the ones in the web advertising.

I suspect then that a version that is much more aggressive has been installed and is still running. Is it right to be worried? How can I manually check for this or any other threats come to that? WIll Sophos product find it and kill it? DO Trojans like this spread across a Mac network as easily as they do in the Windows world?

Questions questions.

    Thanks for the reply. It seems though that there is a growing trend for spyware/malaware to attack Mac platforms. Most worrying is the ease with which they appear to be able to install onto a remote machine by attaching code to otherwise innocuous and credible files within emails. Does Sophos have the ability to defend against that kind of attack? It is very worrying given that so many people think Macs are immune and as such the potential for this sort of hack/attack to spread rapidly is considerable?
