it’s sad to find out about new types of viruses, but I’m sure that Apple knows how to deal with them

This Trojan is packages as an Adobe Flash installer. Do not download Flash from a third party site.

I think it just disables the updater, not XProtect itself.

Brilliant! Malware that takes out anti-malware! It’s like a computer form of AIDS…
