Not that I'm depending on this, but since I have ClamX in my Utilities folder, does that mean it avails me not?

I wish I knew for sure. Randy's comment immediately up-thread is probably
the best advice.
(Of course, I wonder what's going on here. Someone designs a trojan to
instantly abort when it detects the presence of any of a list of malware
detection apps?)

Folks have speculated that since Flashback creates a huge bot
network, that the creators of Flashback wanted the malware to only be
installed on the machines of users who are unlikely to detect it, and
thus it will remain installed for a long time.

when i first went to sell my stock, it had doubled. then within the last few weeks it doubled again.
i am a college educated man, but pretty average in intellect. not like you. so, i assumed the stocks
had doubled. when, in fact, my money doubled. sorry if i used the incorrect terms.
i know how you hate incorrect terms, or people asking for advise, and misspelling words.

It certainly shouldn't be necessary to post the exact same information twice on the same day, 12 hours apart, but here's what I have:

Yep, Apple stock is rising rapidly. It has gone up over 50% so far this year.
When a stock splits, 2-for-1, the stock price DROPS by half. The value of the stock owned by an individual remains the same (except for any buying spree that may drive the price up right after a stock split), because the individual suddenly owns twice as many shares after the split.
I *do* hate incorrect terms, because a help and educational forum is nothing if not a medium for clear communication, and clarity is not possible if sloppy and incorrect terms are used to describe technical things that have a precise definition.
I revel in people asking for advice, at least if it is done in a coherent fashion, as it usually is here, because I am actually pretty good at providing accurate helpful advice.
I don't dislike misspelled words, per se; I dislike that many people don't care whether they're spelled correctly or not, and seem to think proofreading is beneath them.

well, true to my word, i don't understand the first part of your email.
all i know is, at first 2 shares went up to 4 shares, and then, while i was impatient, it went up to 8 shares at about $630 a share. perhaps that is what tim cook
meant when apple is worth about a trillion dollars, and he said he would do something for the shareholders. who knows. but, trust me. it happened.
and i was very excited. and wanted to share the good news. because i believed it when DD said the stocks might go up to $1000 each.
as to people misspelling words, i think you might be intimidating newcomers, and that is not in forum's best interest.
i have a friend who was a psychology professor. a Ph.D., etc. and she would correct me when i misspelled words, years ago.
since then, she has had a stroke, and it is difficult to follow what she is saying. so, i mostly just joke with her. but not at her expense.
just useful informations. hopefully.

So the value of the individual share had doubled, not the number of shares?
If the number of shares had doubled, the the value of each individual share would have halved.

well, as i said in an earlier email, the stock, or value of the stock, doubled twice. perhaps i used the wrong terms.
but, the money i am getting is more real than some web page, at least to me. lol.
i think we better "kill this thread" before i get into trouble.
i actually thought people would be glad for me. ha.
thanks for the civil last couple of emails.
but, let's close here. heck, it is a good place to end this.
i feel better.

Actually, I am.
I have *never* owned stock in anything.
Except mutual funds, and now my retirement fund -- diversified investments.
I wouldn't mind having bought some Apple stock anywhere from 2 to 15 years ago.

Re: Terminal question.

Jim,
The whole MS-DOS command line interface and batch file system was
essentially a rip-off from Unix in the first place.
Yes, you can create and run Unix script files, but can I ask why you want
to do this? They are not user-friendly by modern standards.
AppleScript is along the same lines but the syntax is entirely different.

I know about the connection, it was not quite a rip off. :-)

I was hoping the there was a simple way to script the change directory from where Opening Terminal dumps me, to my practice dir.
In MS Dos is just created a simple text file insert the commands and give it a .bat extension and call the file name and it does it's thing.

What little I remember from applescript and automator was that I didn't figure out how to use them and went on to 'other things'. :-)
And I have a slightly more serious problem that I mentioned in my second message.

Did you delete any system files or change any settings during your previous
session?

Otto,
Don't think so. Since the error message said that I did not have the permission I rand disk utility and repaired permissions, J.I.C. Not help.

How to Detect and Protect Against Updated Flashback Malware

Apple has released updates to its Java libraries for users of Mac OS
X 10.7 Lion and 10.6 Snow Leopard (see "Java for OS X Lion
2012-001 and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 7," 3 April 2012). The
updates bring the Java runtime engine up to version 1.6.0_31 and fix
multiple vulnerabilities in Java version 1.6.0_29, "the most
serious of which may allow an untrusted Java applet to execute
arbitrary code outside the Java sandbox." What those release notes
aren't saying is that the vulnerabilities in question were being
exploited in the wild by a new variant of the Flashback malware (see
"Beware the Morphing Flashback Malware," 27 February 2012).

**Significant Infection Rates** -- A Russian antivirus developer,
Doctor Web, says their research shows more than 550,000 Macs have
been infected after users visited compromised Web sites that contain
JavaScript code to activate a malicious Java applet. Sorokin Ivan of
Doctor Web later raised that estimate to over 600,000 in a tweet.
