In the midst of all this Flashback hubbub, Symantec on Thursday released a free scan-and-removal tool to help remove the now-infamous Flashback malware. The utility is available on http://us.norton.com/mac-flashback/promo as a 649 kilobyte download and requires a quick agreement to the software terms prior to download.

If you’ve tried the utility and have any feedback to offer, please let us know in the comments.
