So, of those two, how do you decide which one is right for you? This time, however, that task-based approach didn’t work, largely because (with a couple exceptions that are noted below) the latest versions of Fusion and Parallels Desktop are nearly indistinguishable in performance.

Snake Malware MalewarebytesLabs reported that the “Snake” malware has been ported over to Macs. “Snake” has been well known as a backdoor malware on Windows since 2008. In 2014 it made its way to Linux systems and now onto our beloved Macs. This nasty piece of code is also known as “Turla” and “Uroburos”. Discovered In Adobe Flash Installer The snake was found a few days ago hiding in what appears to be a legitimate Adobe Flash Installer. It actually installs Adobe Flash Player but also brings along its malicious code for the ride.

Once installed it opens a backdoor to your Mac. Once a backdoor is open, your Mac and the data on it, including passwords are vulnerable. The files are tucked away in the Library/Scripts folder and appear to be an Adobe Launch process. Apple was quick to revoke the certificate the installer used but that action could be countered with a new iteration. So be diligent and cautious since Macs are no longer immune to such attacks.
