Around a month ago i downloaded a web app’s free version (it wasn’t really an ethical way) and after half an hour or less later i deleted everything related to it because it seemed so tricky to me but i’ve been seeing some files on my mac related to that app. they were gone but reappeared (i deleted them again) what should i do? do i need a cleaning app?? is my computer safe?

Hi Betull,


The only antivirus app we usually recommend here is Malwarebytes (the free version). The developers have an excellent reputation on this site.


What was the name of the app you downloaded earlier? Do you know the name of the company/developers?
