From time to time, i see small glitchs come up and disappear very quickly on my mac, and i feel like i may have some type of spyware on my mac. What is the best way, or software to use, to find this spyware and get rid of it on a mac?
Info:MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Are there any spyware / antivirus scanners for use on the mac which I could use?
I checked my router logs and I seem to be getting several accesses to my macbook IP from several different external IPs on the same port 30124.
It is making me think I may have some spyware or something.
I keep getting problems with passwords and I can only presume I have spyware issues on my mac book pro.
I want to completely start again but there are 3 issues:
1. I don't have my MS Office for Mac original disc although I do have the product ID number and I do have my original OS X install discs and Iwork 08 disc.
2. How do I backup absolutely everything so that as soon as I reinstall I can start where I began?
3. I am not very technical and don't have a clue how to uninstall everything and then reinstall. How do I do this so that any possible threats are totally gone?
I have just brought the appl macbook pro and was wondering what spyware i could use on it this is my first apple computer.

Does anyone know of any good security software for my mac mini? I just want some extra protection, rather be safe than sorry.

Qmasterd is installed with fcp/compressor, but these are not running. But qmasterd is, according to activity monitor. Even after denying qmasterd all connections with little snitch, qmasterd connects with servers I don't know.What's up? Spyware?

Also, I think I downloaded an old version of Messenger for Mac.
It probably have no sort of malware or viruses but assuming it may have, does the "sandboxing" technique by Apple prevent any malware from interfering with my mac. And does deleting tha old version clear any malware associated with it as well?Â

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. Â
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. Â
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.

First time owner of Mac and never thinking about switching back to PC. I bought the IMAC 2l inch a couple of days ago. I am wondering if I need to install any antivirus software, ccleaner, ad aware, spybot or spywareblaster like I have on my PCS.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIt started yesterday,and I am worried my computer has been hacked. For some background it is a 20" iMac running OSX 10.4. What is happening is when we start up Safari, mail, Firefox,etc we get a Network spyware alert box that pops up, and says the following for example when starting firefox: Firefox is attempting to connect to a server with the internet address xx.xxx.xx.xx(removed numbers due to not being sure if these should be kept secret).Then it says [URL] on port 80. Fire fox is not authorized to make this connection. Do you want to allow the connection,or block it? Program location:/applications/firefox.app It then has radio buttons with the following options:
O Apply until quits
O Apply today
O Apply once
O Apply always
On the right of those radio buttons are two boxes withthe following options:
Apply to all ports
Apply to all internet addresses
I am worried we may have been hacked,but I have no idea. I click on block when I get these pop-ups,and sometimes it will allow the program to work just fine,and sometimes not. Have we been hacked? What can I do to fix this? We do have a Allume netblockade program,but it has been on the computer for years,and only now has this problem come up.
