As Neil Hughes over on the appleinsider.com website recently noted, Apple saw a 23.7% sequential growth following the iMac refresh last year. Analyst Maynard Um expects a similar increase in sales this year once the newly updated iMac line hits the market.

Tuesday’s iMac update announcement has come at a crucial time for the all-in-on desktop PC, according to a previous appleinsider.com article. Desktops Macs have unfortunately fallen from over 50 percent of Apple’s Mac shipments in 2006, to only 26% in the 2nd fiscal quarter of 2011.

However, Mac desktop PC sales have also seen a boost when the company issues a refresh on its flagship Mac product, the iMac. As announced on Tuesday, the new quad-core iMacs come with the new Thunderbolt high-speed input / output port and Sandy Bridge processors.

Also known as ‘PremierOpinion,’ the spyware is being downloaded and distributed through the use of various free screensavers according to security firm Intego who have released a list of the screensavers that are currently being investigated, and have been found to have the spyware included.

But what does this piece of spyware do? – If installed, the program is capable of scanning files to record user activity, and also sends information about the said activity to remote servers, which in turn opens a backdoor to the infected computer.

The spyware seems to have come from comScore, through their VoiceFive Networks subsidiary and if installed will scan all your personal information on all volumes withing the computer – from iChat, URL user data, browser information and all other private data. It will send that information to remote servers and email address that they currently have set up.

Even though by downloading these screensavers, they do mention “market research” in their Terms of Service, but not all.

But how can it be removed? – Even if the infected screensaver is removed from your system, the spyware will still remain and automatically update itself in the background. Of course, Intego would like you to remove the spyware by using their software, but you must pay for it.

If you want to remove it manually (and for free), you can follow these steps found here via Guardian.

Please also be aware that the MishInc FLV To Mp3 application has also been found to have this spyware embedded in it’s installation.
