Just purchased a new 27" IMAC. My up to date, but old (2011) 27" IMAC seems to have a few virus issues.
Is it still safe to transfer all my folders/files etc via the usual transfer method, or must I remove any issues with my old IMAC before I begin the transfer?
I think we should work on the old one 1st...
The free Malwarebytes may take care of it...

EtreCheck is a FREE simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…
Whew, they've changed pastebin & made it harder, but after pasting in, click Create new paste button, then Embed button, then copy the URL...

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts...

There are no known viruses in the wild that can affect macOS.
How's it going?
Just had shoulder surgery. Will try your recommendations tomorrow. Thanks
