Mac Antivirus developer Intego might have stumbled across an OS X specific virus being offered for auction that targets a previously unknown ZIP archive vulnerability.

Virus is an English word based on a Latin stem meaning 'alive'. The plural is therefore viruses not virii. In medical terminology they are always referred to as viruses.
