Does this count? It is so hard to keep track of the shifting rules

I know that when malware is released for OS X, it never counts for reasons that are typically made up within minutes of the malware being released. I'm pretty sure that one of the reasons that was made up is that malware doesn't count if the user has to download and run the malware, which the user has to do in this case. And if the user is running a Windows OS that was built within the last 4 years, they would even be prompted for privilege escalation (or the malware would fail to copy itself into the Windows System directory).

So using Apple zealot logic, this one doesn't count. Or does it?

Cue the double standards...
