How to use Malware after it picks up a threat
I've had a popup from Mac Cleanup Pro for a while which I've been deleting. I use Everweb for my website. I had trouble uploading a flyer yesterday. When I uploaded my website, it usually goes to Firefox. All my favourites tabs had disappeared. I did a re-start and got a message from Mac cleanup to say it had found issues and threats. So I ran a Malware check and it's found 7 threats. One which I'm concerned about is OSX.Genieo which seems to be the thread to ...Library/LaunchAgents/com.company.InstallerAgent.plist If I clean this up will it compromise my start-up and will I lose information? The other threats are PUP.Mac Cleanup Pro and lists 6 items relating to that. After reading the posts here, I realise that this Mac Cleanup Pro is a hoax but I'm worried that it might have installed something? I also think that recently I had a message saying my Adobe needed updating so I clicked on it. I realise now that might have been another hoax. I'm not sure how to use Malware when it's found a threat. How do I quarantine them and delete them and clean up the computer?
