The only known malware for OS X are a couple Trojan horses that you would've had to have installed yourself.
What's the problem you're experiencing? It might not be malware. |

Damn it, I didn't realize you had replied to this. My bad, bruh.
In a nutshell, I actually got a message in a pop-up from Skype, of all programs, indicating that my computer was infected with Malware. I share the computer with my roommate and we only use it for creative muses. It rarely even sees internet connection so I was a little confused after I opened Skype. I restarted the machine and it failed to boot. It sent me straight to a blank, blue screen, as if it were trying to boot but just couldn't. Finally, I said f-ck it and reinstalled the OS. Works fine, now. Thanks, Tech Support Guru of CB. Seriously, though, thanks. It just hit me that all of my computer questions are answered by you, haha. |
