• Slow Mac = Virus? (Strange behavior OSX)

  Hi all

  Not long I've updated Lion at El Capitan.

  To be honest, the only good thing about El Capitan is the battery life.

  El Capitan seems to flow from my memory and performs more slowly.

  My specs:

  MacBook Pro 2011 end 13 inches

  Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz

  16 GB RAM DDR3

  Recently I have experienced the following:

  The overall performance is terrible, the OSX becomes very lag.

  RAM gets chewed without valid reason (I run "sync" and then "purge", however, "purge" takes time to clear the cache and it does not help in the long term)

  In "vm_stat", I get a lot of high values for the "errors of translation.

  When I restart the Mac, it takes forever to restart (with Lion, it can be much faster)

  Apps to not start unexpectedly, example like "AppCleaner" (I click on the app, it flashes and nothing happens)

  This lead me to think that I could have some kind of virus.

  I run several system scans using "ClamXav", "Kaspersky" and "Malwarebytes" <-same Malwarebytes stopped opening after a scan.

  In any case, none of them found anything it, tried to search the Web and run the command "find" to search the KeRanger services and could not find.

  Looked in "Activity Monitor" and could not see something fishy to me. Expected to see perhaps the network activity as a sign for some backdoor.

  I'm a little desperate looking for something that I don't know who could be at the root of all this.

  Throughout my research, I found a strange file, I don't know what it is.

  / dev/fd/155/Single Sign-On\prerequisites\VMware-python.msi/product.cab/wininst_9.0.exe

  Could be a virus? I know this may sound a little silly, but I'm naïve to detect the cause of the strange behaviour of my Mac.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  NOTE: I have a vCenter Server installed on a computer via VMware Fusion virtual, however, the SSO service is installed on a virtual machine that resides on a physical ESXi server.

  Thank you

  Kind regards

  at the moment no virus Windows cannot affect mac OS X, except if you start it in windows or virtualize and then only it can affect parts of the window of your OS not your components of Mac OS.

  The slowness of the system can usually be traced back any anti-virus Mac. Although it does not exclude the other 3rd party applications or hardware problems.

  At the moment there is no knowledge 'in the wild' viruses for mac reported by laboratories of titles in the world.

  My advice is to remove AV applications on your mac (no Windows!), as well as any other utility left 3rd that you may need to clean, maintain or snitch on your mac, like the so-called also cause problem, no solutions.

  If the problem persists please post a log of your system using etrecheck

  https://etrecheck.com

  which is used here to examine this type of incident and the number of positions using this software to identify a problem and a solution is extremely positive if you want to look into this for your own peace of mind. In fact I encourage to see for yourself.

  Once that is posted a number of volunteers can give an overview about the cause of your particular problem if the suggestions above do not offer a solution.

• Pictures folder mac viruses

  I got this message when I tried to open my library of photos with the terminal folder. I think that its been maybe somehow transformed into a folder of photos of virus, anyone know if this is a bug. I tried to open it a few times and it still gives me the same thing.

  What was the exact command that you used to open it?

• Is it possible that my iMac has a virus? (Identifiers associated with PayPal)

  My 27 "iMac, running OS X El Capitan, may have a virus.

  My PayPal account has been compromised-more than 5 times. I've been creating ridiculously, long and complicated passwords to "update" my account, but a person continues to be able to charge small amounts to my account. PayPal said that there is nothing they can do and that my computer may have a virus.

  Someone at - it no preview this please?

  Thank you very much!

  Your mac doesn't have a virus, there is no Mac viruses at the moment and PayPal is full of $#! +

  You don't need to hack into a computer to hack into a PayPal account. The infinitely simpler to access the account from anywhere in the world, on any computer as long as you have a working password. Infinitely from Latin "infant" as an infant can hack an account without your computer because that while your computer CAN keep the log/pass info: PAYPAL ALWAYS has to KEEP THAT on THEIR SYSTEMS.

  Create a more complex password and change and do not use it on other computers not in your possession.

• Virus/Spyware/MacBook Adware

  I have a Macbook Pro. I had my brother borrow computer and when I got back, I have several different things that make me believe that he has caught a virus. When I go on some websites, open a new tab and either be a flash or downloader mac download download or redirect me to several other sites.

  Also, if other popups for sale on ebay, amazon, or walmart appear.

  Finally it doesn't let me go to specific sites and block download.com, google.com and much more. It usually still allows me to facebook or gmail.

  I am very good with computers, but don't know how to remove the Macs. What are the best options. I really don't want to reinstall.

  Thanks for the tips!

  Rest assured that there is no Mac viruses in the wild. What you may be experiencing is just adware/malware, which can not do damage, unless you meet their ties or recall their phone numbers.

  Quit the Apple Safari > force quit menu. Relaunch Safari since the Dock icon while holding the SHIFT key.

• How can I tell if my Mac has been hacked v10.10.5

  In 'Window leave Force', there is a flashing line in and out very quickly it was something like: applekit txt... {code

  I have a Mac Book Pro (2013) v10.10.5 with all the updates that are loaded.  My laptop was running a bit slow... freezing for short periods of time when you save a document or work in Photoshop. I moved a large number of my large video files to a backup disk to ensure that I have a lot of space. After the restart, I had that Chrome and Photoshop and Finder running. In the FINDER, I clicked on FILE / NEW WINDOW FINDER and saw the Rainbow Apple "Spinning wheel" for more than 30 seconds while you wait for a new Finder window open.

  More and more impatient, I clicked on the icon Apple and "force quit." In the window to leave, I saw three running applications but also saw a line of red text jump in, then disappear very quickly a few times. I tried to take a screenshot, but couldn't.  The only thing I could catch was something like applekit .txt... {code and that's all I could catch.} I disconnected from the internet, and he stopped.

  You have reason to believe that your mac is hacked?

  Have you recently installed any software suspect?

  Do you have a person with access to your mac that can install something without your knowledge (which requires an administrative password and the access to the system)

  Apart from that you run any type of Mac anti-virus. If so most, if not all have been cited on these forums as points of failure on the Mac and in many, if not all cases of withdrawal of restores them the response and the functionality of the system. Well-known companies AV display the instructions to remove their products. At this time there is no known Mac viruses in the wild, which means no laboratory of titles in the world posted of any finding of a Mac virus that did appear on the internet at this time, please do not confuse this statement with the absurdity of "Mac cannot get viruses.", what I mean , it's "they don't seem still one and mac AV is not nearly as flexible as it is counterpart windows and has been known to cause serious problems and not offer a lot of protection.

  Secondly you are running any 3rd party utility system or network, once again, these products are known to cause problems and are not only necessary are often contrary to the OS X, remove them from your system.

  If you are not sure what you are using please post a report of etrecheck for the volunteers here to look further as to what your system is running, this report contains personal or confidential information. the software was developed by a long time member of this forum in the first goal to help mac users to isolate a problem in their system and has been very successful in doing this, an overwhelming majority of positions where he asked attests to that.

• "feat of swf virus" reported since install flashplayer.

  Latest updates to Flash Player downloaded from Adobe.com site April 22, 2016.

  Now, to get a message through Clamxav Swf.Exploit.CVE 2016 0968-1 in quarantine.  He looked on the web and it's a malicious code / virus.

  This is new for me.  It's something I should worry about irrelevant?  I deleted the quarantine files and emptied the Recycle Bin.  Check the version of Flash Player and it's the latest version.  I have checked auto-updates.  What else I can / should I do?

  If you have deleted files, you should be fine. Currently, there is no known Mac viruses, but it is malware. You can run this program which was written by Thomas Reed, a poster for a long time. The program will do the job for you that makes it easy.

• Is - this apple virus real attention and official?

  Hello

  In the past, I used to get these warnings of viruses, but I would ignore them since they looked much more informal, and since I had heard the warnings that require you to install MacKeeper are scam. However, this one popped up today and I was worried because it looks like the official site Apple and says that my system is seriously damaged. This warning is real and should install the MacKeeper or any other program for my Mac virus?

  

  Fake.

  Do not install MacKeeper, it's a scam. They tell you there are viruses so you will have to pay for the program. Then the program says that it removed the virus (that were never there) in order to feel safe.

  Close this window and avoid any website or you will get this message again. The scam is probably related to the Web site

• Safari locked Zeus virus

  Should I be worried? Today, while trying to go to the Gmail site this (see photo) came on the screen and I had to do a closed hard.

  The message says windows detected that? Is the Zeus on the Mac virus.

  Older (about 5-6 years) iMac, running OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6

  

  It's a scam. Do not call the number.

  If the pop-up recharge, force quit Safari (command option/alt - esc) and reopen it with the SHIFT key is pressed. If this does not work, disconnect from the Internet, go to Safari/history and delete the Web site. Quit and reopen with the SHIFT key is pressed.

• affected by the virus cannot get email to work

  MacBook Pro with Airport Extreme - I was hit by a virus (I know weird, right?) and McAfee to get rid of it.  However, now I can't my email to work by Mail or Thunderbird.  I was on the phone with Wowway everyday, we will change the passwords for each account and then it will work again for a few hours.  I think the problem is always with Wowway but they say I still have a virus.  I used McAfee twice more, and he says he has none are detected.  I keep getting the status of invalid login or password when I try to access my emails.  Suggestions?  Should I take the MacBook for the genius bar or continue to fight with Wowway?  Any ideas at all?  Thank you very much!

  If you take your Mac to the genius Bar, they will tell you the same thing, that we will tell you. UN-modified Mac OS X does not in this way.

  You will need to remove all of your changes before they will even look at it.

  There is no known MAC viruses, despite the fact that junk as McAfee will bring tons of things she called virus. It is quite possible that it had removed parts of Mac OS X, you might also need to re - install.

  So called "anti-virus" scanners are not useful on the Mac, because they interfere with the Apple has already provided the integrated protection.

• C410a won't for mac with os x 10.8 but is accessible from the web server or old OSX

  The c410a ceased to behave with the Mountain Lion.  The new OS machines can access via the built-in web server, but not other way.  Old mac running Lion has no problem

  As I've recently updated Norton on the newer machines, I suspect that maybe that's a problem.

  Why you use Norton?  There is no such thing as a Mac virus and until there is...

• AVG or Sophos and Sierra?

  I tried this post in the Sierra forum, but I don't know how.

  Can anyone tell me if AVG or Sophos now work with Sierra?

  I tried a few weeks ago and it crashed my computer so I removed it and everything all right.

  But I'm worried about getting a virus. I have used AVG and Sophos in the past, they are free, and I loved them.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Just think about it this way. Why would you want a program that, at best, can only look for virus Windows, since they cannot search for non-existent Mac viruses?

  If you're worried about malware and adware, those who are different kettles of fish, and the best defense is you.

  Good day.

• MacBook Pro PROTECTION

  Hey guys,.

  I need help to protect my Mac against malicious software and viruses, so please if you can suggest me some options how can I get some proctection I want to thank you.

  PS: I just bought this new Mac I a few months ago, so I am a newbie in this world.

  PROCESSOR: Intel Core i5 at 2.9 GHz

  MEMORY: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

  You must protect your mac of Mac antivirus programs, they cause damage more than anything else.

  Now that again, there is no mac viruses in the wild, and while this could change tomorrow no Mac AV ever made solution faced with a real threat, but reports of these harmful products for the operating system is common on forums of slowdowns in the kernel panics. AV of Mac nowhere had the amount of time and energy invested than their Windows counterparts and it will become apparent that it is a solution under normal in almost all cases.

  Many applications of mac and the "account" of the operating system that would cause problems, they have been documented here. OS X did an amazing job to keep, let him do it without interruption and your system which will be much better for her.

  common sense is the best possible practice for the safety of your mac. Update when Apple brings security and OS updates available, stay out of sites that encourage unscrupulous behavior like file sharing, do not receive software torrents.

  practice safe browsing.

  One product that I will recommend and will so many others is Malwarebytes, which does not defend against malware, but remove malware, it can identify. I does not work as AV and it is not protect against, only delete if he finds her.
