UTorrent is a virus?
I accidentally downloaded a software called Utorrent. Right after that I downloaded it, I put in the trash and deleted from the Recycle Bin. Then I restarted my computer and found that my homepage of Safari has been changed to hmining.mobi/homepage. Is this a virus? If so, how to I get rid of him? U
No, uTorrent 1.8.7 is not a virus. This is a legitimate software to download torrent files. But do not need it.

Mac is infected by the virus (types +++ automatically)
My Mac Mini has been compromised. I downloaded files & videos of uTorrent and after that the machine has started to behave abnormally.
Whenever I have started typing something, '+' sign Gets types automatically.
How to detect and remove this virus?
There is no such thing as a virus for Mac. Have you tried restarting your Mac? What happens after reboot? Download files via torrent is rather dubious and half legal decision.

Virus problem? -Unable to access many programs, Windows Components, System Restore
I am reasonably confident that the issue I'm having is the direct result of a virus. The first sign was after recording in the other day, a message popped up that says that my copy of Windows is not valid. After re - validate, I am still not able to access many programs, System Restore, components - run Windows, Control Panel, Defender etc. I already ran several scans-MalwareBytes, Hijackthis, AVG, ZoneAlarm, SuperAnti-SpyWare, Avira, Emsisoft, etc.. Still nothing.
Here is the hijackthis log:

Recently, I received an avalanche of emails with malicious attachments. I have not opened any of the accessories, and my antivirus software has picked up malicious content and removed from the email. Thus, I find myself with an email on my system, no content. Unfortunately, the system does not allow me to then remove the (s) e-mail that is left. How can I remove these 'empty' emails in my Inbox mailbox?
... my antivirus software has picked up malicious content and removed from the email.
Allowing something to edit the database of e-mail will result by it becomes corrupted.
If you use Time Machine, restore the email by "entering Time Machine" of in Mail and choose a time to restore. Then, just delete suspicious e-mails in the usual way. Exit full screen before entering Time Machine.
You may not use software "anti-virus" not Apple on a Mac, for this reason and many others. Identify the product you use to get the uninstall instructions.

no known viruses for macOS Sierra?
Recently, I received a popup warning that seemed to know my location, the ISP and the operating system recommended use MacKeeper to remove a virus that it has scanned. Address Web was apple.com
It's a scam. No Web site can actually check a Mac OS X system for malware.

How can I check my Mac mini for spyware and other viruses
How can I check my Mac mini for software spyware and other forms of virus? Recently, I received an electronic invoice which seems to come from Apple on a purchase that I did not. Unfortunately, I answered by clicking on a link that asked me to cancel or manage this purchase that led me to a site that didn't look like an official Apple site. I am afraid that simply by doing so, I welcomed the spyware on my Mac mini hard drive.
My Mac was purchased in 2011 and runs on OS X El Capitan (version 10.11.6).
Kind regards
Politkovskaya
Receive a fraudulent e-mail for a purchase confirmation, you did not is a very common scam. Remember that you are not misled by providing personal information solicited by this e-mail.

No harm will come of the fact that you wrote. Fraudulent Web sites that are made to appear as legitimate those who are specially designed to convince you to reveal personal information. If you don't have that, no further action is necessary or justified. Do not install anything, no matter the source or the apparent popularity, in response to one such scam. To do this would be the first step in a path well worn to the misery.
On the other hand, if you were tricked into providing personal information (like your Apple ID and password) you will need to change your password on Apple ID. Please write back for instructions.

Hello, I have a problem, I have an iMac and a macbook air. I might have something of a virus installed on my iMac. I was in a hurry and I thought that it was adobe flash player. He's no pop ups or ads but the iMac caused me my password by e-mail. I enter immediately. Once I had on my laptop, I have tried to receive an email and the App Store has prompted that I had a virus but I clicked on ignore. Is that all I have to do to not let whatever it is compromised?

Problem with a Virus of Image to disc or something
Hi all!
My name is Cecilia, Im from Argentina. First of all, sorry, because my English is too bad, but I really need help. I searched around on Google, in fact and I can´t to find a solution to my problem.
Recently, I have this kind of virus, malware or other, who is eating my RAM. As soon as I turn on my imac, this active thing by itself, in the form of a 'install', I can see it clearly in the activity monitor. 3 installers, which are essentially the disk images that I also see in disk utility, with names like 'adKrNd.dmg' ghost and other similar things (they still have a different name everytime I turn on the computer). When I want to move to the trash the .dmg, it won´t let me, saying that another application is using these files. I n ' t´know what to do, I downloaded an Anti Virus but it didn t work.
Could you recommend me a good Anti-Malware for free? Maybe someone knows how to stop this?
Thank you!!
Manuela,
Please NEVER install any antivirus, cleaning or another third-party utility maintenance on OS X. OS X is extremely safe and simply updated day will last probably years. In most situations, using antivirus, compensation or other similar applications will create more problems than they ever solve.
However you have downloaded something like advertising software that can create a problem. My suggestion is to run a report of EtreCheckof your system. We then look for obvious problems. Please click on the link, download the application and run the report. Once you have the report, please copy and paste into your response to this post.
If you would like more information on what is EtreCheck, just click on the link and you will find a description of the application.
BTW, my wife and I spent 3 weeks in Argentina in early 2015. What a beautiful country you have!

How do I know if I have viruses / whatever
It seems that 'my computer' is send emails since, apparently, sent my items... to those who who do not have them. How to stop this... or if I have a virus / whatever? Also send emails to myself with nothing else than a "zip" attached file?
There is no virus affecting the os x in the wild. And it is unlikely that you have been hacked - it's much more likely that someone has taken over your email address and send spam using as the address "from"; It is a very common practice. It's how you receipt of the e-mails apparently yourself - spam with Zip files is still prevalent, but usually he pretends to be an invoice or other document. In fact, it is malware, but probably only affecting Windows - do not open it, of course.
It's infuriating when someone uses your address in this way, but there is not really anything you can do about it. Usually it stops after some spammers moving on to address some other victim.
