OS X :: Seems That Mac Has Virus / Worm Or Trojan Horse?
Jan 24, 2010
For the past week or so, people from my mailing list in Eudora have received a series of crude spam emails from my address containing links to porn sites. A couple of them have sent me copies of the messages. I have the original MacBook Pro, core duo running 10.5.6 and I use Eudora 6.2 as my email client.

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?

My iMac constantly tried to open Mail when I wake it from sleep and I have to force quit, and it just randomly started a screensaver even though the screensaver is disabled in system preferences.

How can I check if I have the Reverse Trojan Virus on my iMac? Lately I was ping by Adobe to install an upgrade. Given the press about this virus I was wondering if I just loaded it when I updated the Adobe Reader software.

I noticed a couple times that the green light has been coming on for my webcam on my iMac. Are there any known trojans/viruses that can do this? Is there a way to determine if this is indeed occurring?Â

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.Â

Can the Mac mini with 4GB of RAM run VMFusion 2.02 with Windows XP Home properly without any problems? Is 2.0GHz fast enough, or even 2.26GHz fast enough for VMFusion? Does the Mac mini have enough horse power to run Windows XP?

My girlfriend downloaded a bunch of programs and I noticed her Windows installation was a lot slower than when it was fresh. She has an antivirus program called "Uniblue RegistryBooster" and I was wondering if that was a reputable antivirus program or something malicious.

Not sure if this is the right section or even if someone else has listed it, but the video on the link below (UK broadsheet 'The Times') shows a new Mac trojan. Good commercial for Sophos anti-virus too of course! [URL].

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.

If 10.5 is up to date, is it vunerable to the Flashback.G Trojan that was reported on 2/24? All of the news items about this speak only of 10.6 or 10.7. They imply that if OS X is up to date, then there are no worries.Â

Just recently, my Norton Internet Solutions (particularly Anti-Virus) has been disabled, and emails sent to people on my contact lists in Eudora, by some sort of Trojan. Mail also seems to be involved, because it opens unexpectedly, and tries to contact the internet without reason, as I've learned through 'Little Snitch'. My two anti-virus programs, Avast! and Norton don't seem to be able to detect this problem.Â

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.

Gizmodo is reporting that pirated copies of the Photoshop cs4 crack have been determined to have a trojan which gives an attacker root access to your machine. I know this is a sensitive topic to discuss here but I have a question: What can you do to search to see if you have been infected? I did not use a photoshop cs4 crack per se, but my machine was exposed to a similar file that is close enough to scare the bejesus out of me.
