Hi


This MacDefender has been floating around lately, it is malware, its not the official Mac Defender. Don't pay for it, don't download it.


If you have already downloaded/installed it, then:


  1. Move /Applications/Mac Defender.app to the Trash
  2. Go to the Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items, and remove Mac Defender from there.
