I have a laptop with OS X 10.6.8, and it needs anti-virus. I went to the App Store, but everything wants 10.7 and later. I need a software recommendation. Avast Security for Mac. Think different about Mac security. Download Free. Essential security. Premium security. 30-day money-back guarantee. Avast Security for Mac. Download Free Buy Pro. Your Mac is not immune to threats — yet. Our free Mac antivirus protects on 3 fronts.
I know Avast! isn't the best, but this is the only time it's given me an 'infection' detection so far. The file was an 'alekspack10.jar' file and considered a trojan.
I already deleted it using Avast! but what I want to know is was that enough? Does that take it off of my computer? Is there any other way I can scan for it on my computer?
I know this isn't the Avast! forums, but if there's anything else I can do to make sure that (possible) trojan is off of there I would like to know.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
