Just to make sure its not a virus, its a trojan. Virus self replicates, this is a trojan you have to install. And when i say install you have to go thru the normal ways of installing a program onto your mac. By giving the program a password, choosing the folder you want to install it and agreeing to a license etc...
Sorta the same way you would install a program like Photoshop.
As long as you dont install it, can just close the program and you are safe.
This is a phising attempt to scare people into thinking there is a virus on your mac and install a program that will take all your personal info.
On my macs i make sure its bare bones. Just my graphic programs, apple programs and extras like stuffit and a FTP program. I never install applications that sound fun or make me think it would be easier then a OSX program. OSX has everything i need so i dont install stuff that could become outdated and not supported and cause a trojan.
