Description
Current Mac OS X malware often persists and automatically starts by using the built-in launch system [1]. This tool makes use of Automatic Folder Actions [2] in order to create a very basic but effective way of monitoring the addition of new launch objects to standard locations. In case a new object is placed in one of the monitored directories, a pop-up informs the user about the change, who then has in turn to decide if the change was legitimate or not.
