What do I do?

Pinkyoga

May 25,2011

I saw a sign on my 13" MacBkPro: "you're computer is infected".  I registered and Downloaded Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition .  Is that it? Do I have to do anything further to clean my computer? If so, what?

Thanx.

    Hello Martin,

    I assume you have not only downloaded but also installed it. It should have started a scan - has it completed yet? If it didn't start click the menu bar icon or ctrl-click the Dock icon and request Scan Local Drives. If you've got this "infected" while browsing it's likely some FakeAV - depending on your browser and its settings there might or might not be traces on your disk. If Sophos is running and you don't get any alerts you're probably safe.  

    BTW: what did you do after you've got this "sign" - closed your browser or ...?
