OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Remove Autorun.exe (W32/SillyFDC-DU | Trojan.Win32.Agent.aec)?

May 8, 2012

Apparently my mac is holding a Windows Trojan. It probably got on my mac through a USB device when uploading things to desktop.The file itself hasn't been touched since 2006...pretty darn old usb/trojan.  I have both Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Sophos (installed after Kaspersky was unable to disenfect) which apparently quarantined the file but can not be deleted.The file autorun.exe is hidden in a folder RECYCLER in the desktop. I've used the Terminal to show the file. I've checked its info and it's already unlocked and privilege is Read & Write.  Whenever I throw the whole folder into the trash and attempt to empty, I receive error message "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items." If I drag the file seperate from folder into the trash, I receive the prompt to enter my security question (was never prompted this for any other file). After entering password, it makes the sound that something went it. The Trash however is empty, and the file remains in the RECYCLER folder in the desktop.

OS X Technologies :: Tell If Computer Has Been Infected With This Latest Trojan (or With Any Trojan)?

Apr 7, 2012

How can I tell if my computer has been infected with this latest Trojan (or with any Trojan)?  I did install the latest update to Java when I was told by my iMac that new software was available for my computer, which was just 2 or 3 days ago (first week of April).  Now it is being said that there was a Java Trojan.

MacBook Pro :: How To Remove Software Update 1.3

Apr 26, 2010

Bought a new i7 MBP, moved the HD from my previous gen MBP to it, installed MBP Software Update 1.3, decided I didn't like/need the new MBP, got refund, put HD back in old MBP.

The problem: MBP Software Update 1.3 is only meant for the 2010 models, so I'm wondering if there's any way to uninstall it, now that the HD is back in my 2009 MBP.

I'm getting a few 'can't repair permission X' messages on Disk Utility and although I've not had any actual problems, for peace of mind I'd like to roll back. I can nuke the problem with Time Machine, I guess, but I'd rather avoid that if at all possible, just cos of Time Machine's potential to fail.

MacBook Pro :: Remove Latest IPhoto Update From It?

Jul 1, 2012

An update for iPhoto '11 was available recently, and I installed it on my computer without thinking twice about it. I use the application for my business and it has worked very well up until I installed the update. Now, however, several of the features that I need are much less responsive due to the update. Is there any way that I can remove the update and restore the application to the way it was before the update?

Info:iPhoto '11, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

OS X :: Remove Software Update Reminders

Apr 21, 2010

I was wondering if there is any way to get rid of the update reminders that show up when my mac runs the software updates. Like the list that is displayed and it will say like itunes, iphoto, security update etc. I have like ten updates for different programs that I dont want to update but everytime I run a check for updates those are still on the list. For example there is an Garage band update that I dont want but it still is on the list. How can I remove these? I dont want to uninstall any updates or anything like that. Ive seen posts on that topic before.

App Store :: Remove An App Update That Is Not On Apple ID?

Apr 15, 2012

I just bought a MacBook Pro and for some reason there is an update available for angry birds. When i try to update it tells me i have to log on to an account that is not mine. Even crazier, I've never in my life saw that Apple ID before and i only logged on with my own ID on my brand new Mac. I know it's a small thing but it is annoying.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Getting Flashback.K Trojan On Macbook Pro?

Apr 3, 2012

The initial instructions are: 1. Run the following command in Terminal: ls -lA ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ 2. Take note of the filename. Proceed only when you have one file. Otherwise contact our customer care. I ran the indicated command and encountered this output:  Node00:~ mdyson$ ls -lA ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ total 64

[code]...

In item 2,based on multiple results,my apparent next step would be to contact "our customer care" but I am not F-Secure customer and instructions as to exactly whom and how I am to contact them are lacking. For various reasons I did have Java installed and enabled in Safari.

MacBook Pro :: Why Is Apple Not Addressing The Flashback Trojan

Apr 7, 2012

Why is Apple not addressing the issue of the Flashback Trojan? It is a tad disconcerting to have to rely on third-party advice, much of which seems rather iffy.

I am quite sure that most Apple customers are waiting for some sort of Official response and clear directives as to how to a) figure out whether ones computer has been hit by the virus, and b) how to safely address it.

MacBook :: Check For Malware Such As The Flashback Trojan?

May 22, 2012

I had one of 15 of these laptops in the same room and it did not let the user login to a web-based grading site.  The MacBook did log in for me at home but, there was a delay with a brief webpage saying something about so many seconds to redirect. (Could not read it all.) I never experienced a delay before using this web-based grading site.

MacBook :: How To Know If Have Trojan Via Adobe Flash Download

Dec 1, 2014

I was told by my internet provider that a computer in my house has a Trojan. He said it arrived at 4:30 pm. I was working on my Mac then, looking at The Bay and WestJet sites. An "Adobe Flash Player install" popped up on my computer and I just closed it... I don't remember exactly what I pressed to make it go away. So now I don't know if there is a trojan on my computer or not and what to do about it.

MacBook Pro :: How To Get Rid Of Rootkit Spyware And Trojan Malware

Aug 20, 2014

Every time I go to open my safari browser a little grey box appears saying I am getting unauthorized access on my browsers. I believe this problem has occurred from streaming a movie.  

The box also says this network may be infected. I then click okay and a red screen appears with a white box with writing in it saying to call a phone number immediately and that my mac has found two malicious viruses but I have read online that this isn't a virus just something attached to online streaming.  

I don't know if I should download a program to get rid of this or to do something else. I tried to reset safari but it didn't work.

MacBook :: Bitdefender Found Trojan - Disinfect Failed

Jun 27, 2014

Yesterday I sadly opened a zip file of an email on my macbook. As it turns out it is a Trojan. I have run Bitdefender and was able to find Trojan.GenericKD.1635815 six times.

Two of them have been moved to Quarantine, for two other disinfection failed and the remaining two could not be moved to Quarantine.

What am I supposed to do now? Is the Trojan under control or do I need to take further action in order to protect my macbook?

MacBook Pro :: Trojan Causing Low Battery Life And Higher Temps

Mar 13, 2010

I noticed my battery life and temps a higher then normal, decided to purchase and scan with virus barrier X6 and up came a iservices.b2 trojan. I removed it and now I notice my temps 10c lower and battery life about 1 hour more. This trojan was sitting resident on my mac for a little while now without my knowledge. Intego says it is mostly bundled with pirated software, but I have nothing pirated, everything I purchased. Now I am trying to find where this came from. If you have high temps and a low battery life unexpectedly....scan your machine.

OS X :: Adobe Virus / Trojan On Mac

Dec 20, 2010

So, it seems that it is in fact possible to get a virus/trojan on a Mac, I am using Sophos Anti Virus as I noticed my iMac is running way slow. It's a fairly new machine with 8GB RAM and 2 TB HD so should be fine. Turns out several copies of Troj/PDFJs-ON (files are report.zip, report.pdf. One was removed by Sophos, the other needs to be removed manually. However, according to Adobe, the fix is a patch to the Adobe Reader, but I don't use or have Adobe Reader. I do have other Adobe products. What can I do?

OS X :: Need To Put In Admin Password To Get Trojan?

I came home today and my daughter (3) was playing games on Nickelodeons website. I noticed that she managed to download 6 .dmg files, something like 3avdi.dmg. I clicked on one and an installer came up on the desktop. I secure trashed everything. I cannot figure out for the life of me where these came from as I can only find .exe files on the Nick site.
