Question

I found this in keychain fmfd-daemon-aps-token

Hi,

I found fmfd-daemon-aps-token in my Keychain, I have tried to delete it but it keeps coming back on start up. My OS is Yosemite 10.10.2 how do I get rid of it or stop it from coming back.

The only thing that I could think of is when I was setting up my Brother wifi printer, the setup software requested access, normally I deny any such thing, but by mistake I may have accidentally clicked the wrong button. Do I have anything to be concerned about?

Thank you in advance

Hi

Many thanks for your reply which has been a big relieve. One thing I do not do is entertain Kaspersky, the only thing I rely on is my Mac and making sure I am vigilant, careful and not share my computer or Screen. Thank you all for your valued help, many of us would be lost without you great supporters.

Thank you

This is not at all related to a "virus." It is normal. It's related to Find My Mac and Find My Friends.

Do not install Kaspersky, that will only cause problems.

Hi rachel,

I have the same thing on mine and I believe it is related to the nasty virus I now have on my mac and have to take it in to a professional to resolve. I would not do any internet banking, paypal, money transfer business AT ALL until you are 500% positive your mac is clean.

I would try installing Kaspersky trial version anti-virus for mac, install all updates and run it to see what it can dig up for you. I tried, but it was too late for me as I'm told the fmfd can put sophisticated trojans on your mac which will prevent from successfully installing anti-virus.

I believe it came from screen sharing, using join.me or logMEin or TeamViewer with Adobe support. I now know any screen sharing where someone else can control your mac/pc is like giving candy to a baby for hackers.

Good luck and I hope your mac is ok.
