If anything has downloaded, and the Installer application has opened, quit it right away look in your Downloads folder for the file, then delete it. Leave the page, and quit your web browser. Means of protection: the first thing to do is make sure that when seeing a web page that looks like a Finder window, and purports to be scanning your Mac, you know that this is bogus. Intego gives the following advice for avoiding this new threat: Based on Intego’s recommendations below, it looks like Apple’s instructions should prevent the threat from harming your system. We don’t know if Apple’s new temporary instructions help in dealing with this new threat or not.

Previously to be infected the user had to download the malware and run the installer wich would require the user to enter their admin password for the Mac system. The user usually finds it by searching for popular topics on search sites like Google. The malware was discovered May 2 and hits any user who happens to find a website that has been hacked or setup to infect the user. If you see this window you are infected notice the bottom "Apple security center" which is not part of OS X How it Works
