I just installed the update to Mac OS X (v10.11 now) and one of my computers is now reporting MRT.APP is infected with HS_GENIEO_SMJG by Trend Micro's scanner.
Does anyone else have this issue and does anyone know what this application does? It has a copyright from Apple 2015.
Thanks!
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), Other OS, OS X El Capitan v10.11
So is it likely infected or just getting picked on because of it's behavior?
You somehow downloaded Genio and it needs to be removed. DO NOT install any antivirus, cleaning, or other third party maintenance utilities!
I would not necessarily trust anything reported by "Trend Micro" or any similar utility.
If the instructions in the link provided by rkaufmann87 do not reveal the presence of Genieo, then your Mac is not affected by it and the report should be ignored. Refer to the instructions under Remove Genieo, InstallMac: "If you don't see either process, Genieo or InstallMac is probably not installed on your Mac."
Pay attention to the several easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required.
That's a built-in component of OS X.
Remove the utterly worthless Trend Micro product by following the instructions on this page. Restart. If the program was incompletely removed, reinstall it and start over.
Back up all data before making any changes. Never install any "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" product again.
I need help too! My MRT app infected with Eleanor troyan virus. I get often pop-up windows, which are sort of fishing mail, and the only way I can get rid them is to restart the computer. I can not remove MRT file because my computer would not let me to. What should I do?
