I have never seen or heard of this running on a Mac.
I also had a good look at Google and couldn't find this being an issue for Mac.

Are you sure the trojan.maljava wasn't a false positive. This sounds like typical Norton scare tactics!
I'm not sure of anything Robert. A box popped up during the scan and said computer was infected with that, and I clicked "repair" and it then marked it "deleted".

Nortons own site does not list this trojan effecting Mac OS.

Trojan.Maljava | Symantec

Are you running Boot Camp, VMWare or Parallels to run Windows on your Mac?
None of the above. I have no Windows anything on the Mac.


One thing you might want to do is turn on your Mac firewall, that will kill off the port scans etc,
I did turn the Norton Firewall back on soon as the scan was done.

Thanks for the info and the link Robert!
