"Whether or not the user inputs the administrator password, the malware will attempt to infect the system, though entering the password will affect how the infection is done.”
This is nonspecific. "attempt" "will affect how" (without describing how.) If a password weren't required for infection, why raise suspicion by prompting for it?
I've still yet to see a single case of a trojan in Mac OS X that didn't require the user to explicitly grant administrator access, despite the repeated media and industry warnings.
"Here's why you should be afraid!!"
"Buy our product and calm your fears!"
News and advertising, one and the same.
No offense mean to the OP. I appreciate the heads up. My issue is with the industry.
