Apple add protection for OSX.Revir and OSX.Flashback

Apple has updated their built-in File Quarantine component, XProtect, with detection for the trojans that were reported late last week and earlier this week. XProtect detects the latest threats as OSX.Revir.A and OSX.FlashBack.A. and gives the user option of opening them (we don’t recommend this), canceling the operation or moving the files to Trash.

XProtect was introduced in Snow Leopard Mac OS X version 10.6
