Trojan horse on my mac!

I ran the Bitdefender anti-virus on my MacBook Pro and it is Trojan.JS.RAN and I was surprised that I'm always careful what to download and install!

I removed it, but now I'm not sure that this Trojan horse on my computer? and what should I do to make sure that there are more malware/virus on my computer? and what is the best antivirus/antimalware should I use in the future?

NB: I've always updated my Mac every time that one updates see the place!

Thank you

Probably a false positive. Google has shown just this and a site similar listing Trojan.JS.RAN.  "Anti" software for mac not cause often false positive.

    A year ago, I was on youtube and I clicked on a link and then I got a pop up warning for a Trojan horse.

    I left Safari, stop my computer and Safari uninstalled and reinstalled.

    Months later I began to purge all the file names I wasn't sure of as a flash drive and crossed to launch Daemon and Agents and many other things of type of extension and terminal used as well, I found the guardian of Mac and two things geniio, but I think it was here when I got the computer as a hand - me down.

  • After an automatic update of the El Capitan, initialize to send diagnostic request. Is this real or a Trojan horse?

    Auto-installé update for El Cap 10.11.2 12/17 unattended via usual application store auto-updated. When I opened to the top of the standby mode the MacBook was initially white Virgin, then spinning dot gray then the screen asking permission to send diagnostics to Apple and the developers. All looked for real, but it could be a kind of Trojan horse?

    Whether it's a major OS update, such as 10.11.1 to 10.11.2, it is legitimate.

    It will look as if you set partially up the computer again. Should ask you to allow the diagnosis must be sent, and then show a computer small logo that says: "Setting your Mac upward" with a few small "data bars" on the screen. I don't know why Apple did allow you to send diagnostics and set up your mac after each update. I guess they have to ask anytime you install new software to avoid any legal problems.

  • Download Firefox contaminated by Artemis Trojan horse! B512E6316312CA8

    McKafee don't let me download Firefox from the official site because of this Trojan horse. As part of the download, I also had an analysis of registry (that I didn't ask for) and a program other than the name which I forgot. is this load of shit downloaded as part of the official download of firefox, and that Artemis is really a Trojan horse? If this is the case, then the site of Firefox is not sure.

    I suspect that supposed only occurs with the stub Installer Trojan horse detection.

  • Thunderbird is download Trojan horses to \AppData\Local\Temp\nsmail.tmp?

    I use Thunderbird on Win 8.1, 64 bit, Windows Defender and EMET. When I'm mischievous looking for emails (some with attachments) I do not open, but transmit to us - cert.gov and UCE.GOV reports e-mail addresses. I am emails in the mode display only text. I run a virus scan afterwards and detection has been coming for Trojan horses in container file C:\Users\ < username > \AppData\Local\Temp\nsmail.tmp, usually with a .scr extension file (as shown in the output of information Defender). An infected file is downloaded on my computer for the operations of Thunderbird? Is - this benign file until the opening? I was under the impression that it's just passed the folder from the server. Can anyone tell/explain about this? Thank you in advance!

    SCR files are Windows screensavers. Them are executable files and run and are processed by Windows exactly one. EXE file.

    The only risk they represent for you is if you actually run the attachment (Thunderbird cannot do it alone)

    The location of the file is where emails are assembled in an e-mail to be sent. The same location and name is used for each mail.

    There is no point sending such things for the U.S. Government or anyone else, unless they specifically ask for it. I'm sure you've heard of made massive data capture the NSA. They probably already have your email address, but more to the point, Government and business of cyber security as symantec, kaspersky labs, eset and the folk music of more black hat is all skimming data flowing around the internet. This is how they seem to be able to issue a definition of virus before getting a sample.

    Hello terbow181, try the following steps after reinstalling firefox:

    1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

  • red alert box about Trojan horses with "get me out" and "I know the risk"... is this firefox or zonealarm? Thank you

    I went to a website that really has been hacked and contains Trojan horses, but I would like to know if the dark red zone alert, with two option buttons "me out of here" and "I know the risk," is my Firefox or my zonealarm. Thank you for responding.

  • I received an email to update Firefox and trying to download my McAfee security it was a Trojan horse and stopped downloading

    I received an email saying to use the link to update Firefox, on this operation my McAfee security said it was a Trojan horse and stopped the download. I deleted the email, but I just got a second one on. Is it an email address, I can send it to so you can check.

    Mozilla do not send email about updated Firefox from a link in the email. Someone is trying to trick you into installing Malware or a virus on your PC under the guise of an update of Firefox.

    Fact a scan with Superantspyware and the above has been reported as a possible Trojan horse (only my second in 10 years and the other was a false positive)
    Google has only 3 entries for him and one is in German, where the poster is not sure if it's a false positive or a Trojan horse.

    I've quarantined it and realized several scans with AV and Malwarebytes and Defender that show everything clear, but she is always on my mind.

    Bravo for any guidance,
    Anthony

    Hey,.

    I searched a bit using Google and it seems to be the false positive. Only Superantispyware is showing this Trojan horse, but all other virus scanners do not show any alarm.

    Also this .exe file is already included in the image of recovery if she s no virus or Trojan horse.

    Don t you worry about this, everything is ok with your laptop!

  • Satellite T110-121 - Trojan horses on the installer?

    I recently bought a T110-121. Turned on, set up Windows 7. Uninstalled MacAfee. Deliberately no connection to the internet at all. VET AV. Ran installed AV scan. Showed 2 Trojan horses.

    I don't think that I can reach the screenshots here, but they were the two instances (one in the sys32) and the other in sys64 under the file mfplay.dll Windows directories. VET was not able to clean or delete, or I could, because I don't have the permission from TrustedInstaller to do. VETERINARY said that the Trojan TROJAN horse. WIN32. HOMEPAGE. FW is a pirate of the home page of gravity medium and associated Media Foundation playback by Microsoft Corporation ver 12.0.7600.16385 dated 07/14/2009.

    Has anyone else AV turned up this? And is this normal as Toshiba or Microsoft to distribute Trojan horses with new computers?

    See you soon

    Hi mikelawrence,

    > What is normal as Toshiba or Microsoft to distribute Trojan horses with new computers?
    Laughing out loud
    You are a funny guy :D

    Sorry, but to be honest, I'm sure that Toshiba or Microsoft distributes the horses of Trojan or virus with the new product.

    I think that your antivirus software gives you a false alarm and that's it!
    But about the antivirus, you wrote that you have installed "VET AV". I've never heard of this program, maybe that's the problem you have. This could be the Trojan disguised as antivirus program.

    In my opinion, you need to install a reliable antivirus program. AntiVir is a great freeware tool. Alternative, I recommend Kaspersky.

  • Satellite M30X: Trojan horse - total Formate with recovery disc?

    Hello

    I had a Trojan horse on my Satellite M30X. My Antivirus deleted, but every time I've been connected to the Internet, it appeared again. Not connected to the Internet it doesn't give me any problems. As I couldn't get rid of him, I backed up all my data and do a fresh install from the recovery disc. As long as the button for LAN wireless is disabled, everything works fine, but just a little while, after I turned on it, I get a blue screen. When I restart my computer with WIFI turned on, it produces a blue screen before Windows is properly loaded, even during installation. I tried restoring 3 times, but it's always the same result.

    1 is it possible, that the Trojan horse destroyed things of the pre installation?
    2. I can't choose to make a formatting during the recovery process. All data are lost, but I feel that's not formate the hard drive correctly, when everything is destroyed. It crushes just stuff?
    3. is there a way to make a good formatting, then install completely new Windows?

    It is not a problem of my WLAN card, internet being no problem under Linux.

    Thank you for your help

    Hello!

    If you use the whole HARD disk Toshiba Recovery disk will be formatted so if you have any virus or Trojans on your laptop, they will be also deleted.

    But what BSOD code are you have? Are you sure that's the reason why the virus?
    You have the same problem if you connect a network cable to the laptop?

    Good bye

  • Equium L40 very slow and Windows Defender found a Trojan horse

    I was wondering if you could help me with a situation.

    Turned my laptop on and Windows Defender found a Trojan, so I chose all clear. Then it arrived 5 minutes later and I pressed on delete everything again.

    Afterwards my internet is incredibly slow and often freezing.
    Opening files and folders often locked up but I could still click on the red X if it took 30 seconds to close after that I clicked on the X.

    I get now random pop ups not even on the internet.

    Do you have any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    Hi Kieran

    Have you tried different antivirus software?
    I would recommend this. I use a software called Antivir freeware antivirus and it is nice.
    It of free and you can download it from various internet sites.

    In addition, you could use an Ad-aware to kill this Trojan horse. It of also for free and maybe it could be useful too.
    Google just to download it for free.

    If you won't be able to remove the virus from your system by using programs like Antivir, antivirus Norton antivirus, etc. and then use your Toshiba Recovery CD.

    I think this should help.

    Good bye
