Hello Barillaro,


Are you sure you have an virus? Usually if you have an virus your laptop would be slower, Battery would be hotter, battery will also drain faster. Check to also see unknown files. I personally use an Windows 10 OS so I'm not sure how MacOS can scan for HDD/SSD for changes.


Have a good one,

Kevin
