Well as there are NO viruses for Mac OS that would be impossible. However you possibly could have installed some other types of malware. Before panicking, we need to know some basics such as:


  • Model Year of the iMac
  • Display Size
  • Version of Mac OS currently installed
  • What troubleshooting (if any) have you attempted.


Without the basics, your inquiry is very difficult to help as you have not given us really very little to work with.
