| Leap-A or Oompa Loompa is a potentially malicious program thats disguised as a simple image file. The code is hiding in a file named latestpics.tgz, (as a picture of OS X 10.5 spy shots). This is a Trojan horse. After expanding the compressed archive, and then double-clicking what appears to be an image file, the Leap-A malware will launch and install itself on your system.
The file is distributed through iChat. More info on this issue you can find on Sophos Anti virus website and on Mac World's website. |  | |
