Is TeamViewerQS malware?
My wife was called by Indian call centre who said they acted for Virgin, BT and others and were responding to problems we were having on our computer.
As it happens, the iMac she uses had been going slow recently.
To cut a long story short, she ended up going to their website www.teamviewer.com (DO NOT GO ON THIS; just in case this is dodgy site!!!!!) and the operator instructed her to "join the support network" and up popped a box containing an ID number and password. He asked/demanded her to give him thos numbers over the phone.
He said she'd be put through to an engineer - turned out to be a lady giving spiel of how they could protect our computer for 9 years for £199 pounds. Alarms bells rang, and after my wife argued with her, she slammed the phone down on us.
It felt to me like they were playing for time to install a Trojan or malware of some sort. I did a search for TeamViewer in Spotlight and found a TeamViewerQS.dmg file last opened 9 days ago!!!!!
So, I've come here to Apple community to find out if this .dmg file is Malware, as a Google search found some sites that seem to imply that it is part of the OS. Is it? (Perhaps the site I found that said this was dodgy too?)
I've since downloaded SOPHOS for Mac and its found 12 Threats Detected on our iMac (OSX 10.7.5). HELP PLEASE.
Any advice humbly accepted.
