• How can ensure me that my Macbook Pro has no Malware?

  I entered an address letter-by-letter on the URL bar for my class and apparently I probably missed a key because the address I typed in that took me to a fragmented site that I think could be the correct Web site, so I clicked on a link and the next thing you know this pop up came to tell my passwords , photos, etc. would be stolen if I have not called a number they provided. I tried to get out of this tab it wouldn't let me, I tried to exit the browser and he has not left me so, I then tried to restart the computer too with no success because he was blocked, my only option was to press ok on the pop up which I did not do and force quit the browser instead which worked. I was wondering if this is a credible reason to think that my Mac has been infected with anything. Thank you!

• My Macbook Pro has a virus?

  I was reading an article online when I clicked on a hyperlink to continue reading more on the topic. Once I clicked it, I was redirected to a page where a pop up is appeared. He said thinking that your computer has been hacked and gave me a number to call. I couldn't X out of the pop up or make any where on my laptop. I called the number, but I restart my computer. When I have opened Safari, the pop up was gone, but I was prompted to download a new version of Safari, but people tell me not to download something like it could be a virus. Is it possible that I can tell if my computer is being hacked or if it has a virus? I have a Macbook Pro from 2013.

  Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

  You can also remove the adware manually by following the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

  After that, make sure that your default search provider is set to the one you always use. To do this, open Safari - Preferences - research.

  Go to the Safari menu (at the top right of your screen next to the Apple icon), choose 'Quit Safari'

  Press the "Shift" key and while holding this button on your unique keyboard, click the icon of Safari on your Dock.

  Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - data to remove any Web site.

  Also, I think it would be a good idea to install AdBlock.

• Pop - up stating that my Macbook Pro the virus-infected

  Saturday 5 March, 2016, I got a strong voice popup stating that my Macbook Pro has been infected by a virus and it has been possible for hackers to access my files. I tried to close several times several times and there was no fence. Don't know how but I was finally able to close Google Chrome and I turned off my computer. After restarting, it seems to have worked OK.

  Was it a hoax or is my computer at risk? And if it is disabled, hackers would still have access to my files and iCloud? Everything is password protected.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! TX!

• I think that my Mac Pro is infected by evil ware. How to ask for help?

  Hello

  I think that my Mac Pro (early 2008) is infected by evil ware. (I deliberately used the Word 2 spelling to try to make a distinction between the entity unknown I think I and - maybe - we can download free software).  I'm not familiar with the various players 'bad', so I'll just refer to it as "my entity."  I think it's a virus that is sophisticated, because, among other things, I think it changes the use/application of Malwarebytes.  A brief description of why I say this.

  I had, before, downloaded and ran Malwarebytes.  I remember well, it's that Malwarebytes did not find any serious problem.  I also ran Sophos, and that he had found two threats, one of which dealt with Sophos.  Sorry, I don't remember their names.  But, as I'm sure you don't know that Sophos takes something like 8-12 hours to run, so I have not used even once, recently.  But, I have not called Malwarebytes on my file utilities.  When I clicked it, I got a window titled users. and that was Apple, comments and shared.  I decided to download Malwarebytes again (but without deleting the Malwarebytes I just described), thinking that the the Malwarebytes nine, well replace the bogus one.  Well, he didn't.  So I can't say that the download didn't happen, or happened, he was immediately converted to users.  So I have 'something' with the title "Malwarebytes Anti - Malware" which is actually the user.

  Another indication: when I want to search, I use Safari or Chrome.  But after I enter the article I'm looking for, I see (something like) kuklorist research of...    If I ask spotlight where is kuklorist?, there is no answer.  So, no matter what kuklorist is, it can hide very well.

  I noticed that the recovery Farbar scanning tool and Malwarebytes Chameleon are available for PC.  Is there something like them for Macs?

  I suspect that the screenshots would help in my descriptions, but I don't know how to make them. I also suspect that I am not to follow the correct procedures in the start of the case.   Could you tell me how to do these?
