A comment on LastPass installs malware?.

I can confidently say that this was not from the LastPass install -- we would never include malware (our reputation is based on trust built up over many years, this would shatter it).

The md5 of our download is 0290ce268f6e57b1ce26bb21748b12eb, it was last updated on Mar 4.

It most likely came from a different source.

I absolutely agree - a reputation is easily shattered, which is why it seems incredulous that you guys were actually knowingly behind this.

Like I said, however - the issues disappeared upon uninstallation of the lastpass browser extension pack for OSX, and it certainly seemed to appear on its installation.

For everyone's sake, let's all hope I was idiotic at some prior point and somehow had a different drive-by install...
