how to identify if my mac has a virus without purchasing
iPhone 5, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Hi
There are lots of free virus apps available on the mac app store, can i ask what makes you think you have a virus and we might be able to help you more!
Run this and check for adware/malware. It is not unuseal to get such ware but virures are very very very rare on a Mac as the other replyier said.
It's best to describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible, rather than what you think is causing it or how you think it should be solved. No matter what the problem is, there is no need to download anything.
