Q: How do I remove malware from imac?

Hi,

I'm having all sorts of problems on my imac due to malware. My computer is slow and when I use Safari or Firefox (haven't tried others), all kinds of pop-ups and warnings come up.

 

What is the best genuine software to remove malware and protect my imac from future viruses?

 

Thank you.

    HI! I was able to use your previous solution to customize for my computer. I think I'm all set. Thank you!

    Hi to Linc...

     

    I also am having a few problems with my iMac/Yosemite, so I tried your "LaunchDaemons" search and found the following:

     

    file:///Library/LaunchDaemons/com.adobe.fpsaud.plist

    file:///Library/LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist

    file:///Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.java.Helper-Tool.plist

    file:///Library/LaunchDaemons/com.rim.BBDaemon.plist

    file:///Library/LaunchDaemons/com.rim.nkehelper.plist

    file:///Library/LaunchDaemons/com.rim.tunmgr.plist

     

    Do you see anything that shouldn't be there ?

    Thanks for your help...

    I am having this problem as well. (Yosemite 10.10.1)


    Here is my list:

    com.adobe.fpsaud.plist

    com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist

    com.apple.aelwriter.plist

    com.apple.qmaster.qmaserd.plist

    com.m-audio.firewire.helper.plist

    com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist

    com.sophos.common.servicemanager.plist

     

    It looks like Linc Davis isn't interested in helping the rest of us. As he said, each problem presents itself differently. If I find an answer, I'll make sure to post it.
