How does Webroot handle ARDAgent in MacOSX operating system?
Hello ukranova,
The ARDAgent exploit was patched in released Security Update 2008-005 by Apple in 2008. The ARDAgent controls remote managment for the mac and is always a target for malware however, between our detection methods and Apples built in security we havent seen anything get through. I recommend that you keep your OS updated with the most current security patches and keep Webroot updated as well. Please let me know if you have anymore questions.
