How do i get rid of this trojan? I appear to have become infected with the MacCinema trojan, which I installed thinking it was a legitimate Flash update.
This thing redirects me every 5 mins as far as I can tell to a range of advertising sites. I've tried running sudo crontab -r, and I've looked through the library for Internet plugins (where in theory the little beastie is hiding), but can't find anything at all in that folder. Dammit!
OS X 10.4.11
Thanks!

Response by poster: Thank you, I have seen it (that's why I took the steps above). The damn thing is still here.
