The Mac hits mainstream: a DNS trojan is circulating in the wild. Also, Leopard problems.

Trojan. No surprise, it was a matter of time. It starts with an email to try to get you to a porn site, when you click on a video it tells you that you don't have the proper codec and gives you the opportunity to download it.
