threat by trojan.JS.Iframe.BKD on MacBookPro

Hello everybody, please pardon my english.

BitDefender Virus Scanner (properly downloaded by Apple Store) detected this threat on my Mac Book Pro running OX Yosemite 10.10.5.

It's among the Mobile Applications (in the mobile application folder) in my mac, it's a zip file named " com.sg.findItprohd.zip ", its size is 39,4MB.

Bit Defender was not able to remove it, I will not touch it as well until someone tells me how to do it.

I regularly synchronize my Iphone 4S on my Mac, of course I will not do it again until this stuff will be removed.

What is it?

How can I fix this awful situation?

(Please help me, I'm going to freak out...)

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Just did it 🙂

You solved the problem completely.

I actually downloaded this app the article talks about, that app with the bees, when I bought my first iPhone, but I soon uninstalled it because it was a stupid game (in my opinion).

Anyway, it always was in my iTunes.

Yesterday, as you can read in the previous posts, I deleted the whole folder containing the mobile apps in my computer, and soon after I also deleted all the app in iTunes, in order to clean completely my computer from it.

Then, i started another deep scanning with bitdefender, it found nothing at all.

i hope this trojan in that app didn't spy all my stuff through the years, I can do nothing about it anyway.

Just in case you really are confused, Bitdefender is doing exactly what I and others told you it was doing: wasting your time with a false positive. The file it detected as a "trojan" is perfectly legitimate and harmless. Wasting your time is all it will ever do for you.

This is not a false positive. It's a known iOS app that had some potentially malicious behaviors. (Well, known to some, anyway.)

The fact that this was detected on a Mac, which this app cannot run on, does not make it a false positive or useless. The fact that Bitdefender found this on the Mac served to alert esseG to an app on an iOS device that needed to be removed.

To repeat, the file is not in any way harmful, either to a Mac or to an iOS device. The Bitdefender alert is a time-wasting false positive. The iOS app is not a trojan and never was a trojan. It contained a corrupt MP3 file, and for all I know it still does. It's impossible to embed malicious code in that type of file. The app is still in the App Store, perhaps in a later version. This whole discussion is about nothing.

I agree.

i'm not a computer scientist and I don't know what can really be a danger.

For sure, its presence in my computer was not a good news for me.

I removed the ""problem"" and I feel good now. The fact that this file wouldn't be a danger in any case, makes me feel even better.

The whole discussion here is about the file found in my computer, I started it for this reason.

The discussion about the dangerousness or not of that file, maybe is another discussion.
