When I bought the Imac I was also told that if there was any drop in the preformance of my Imac I could bring it in and it would be returned to the condition it was in when I bought it for nothing. What ones do people suggest? I have rambled on a bit in case theres any insight there as to what could be causing this as well, I am not very clued up on Macs as you can probably tell. All I am after is an antivirus that is going to detect, remove and prevent ALL forms of adware, spyware, malware, whatever, from my Imac.
Mac os keylogger r virus windows#
My Windows may have been a nightmare for getting viruses ect but at least finding them and removing them was not normally a difficult process. And yet I am changing my passwords on the Imac and my email is still being hacked into so there has to be at least something on here thats giving my information away. I am pulling my hair out with this now as theres programmes I have never even heard of that I am trying to understand having installed them on my Imac in desperation and yet the scans are coming back with nothing. One website suggests a programme, another one reviews it as useless with massive flaws in its security. However, unlike with a Windows computer there seems to be a much smaller area of knowledge on how best to detect, remove, and prevent these things on Macs.
Sure enough there was reams of people who were inquiring about viruses, malware, spyware, key loggers ect on their Macs.
Mac os keylogger r virus Pc#
When I informed the Game Master of this he told me it was entirely possible for them to be infected with all sorts, just less likely than a Windows Pc and all I had to do was check on google if I didn't believe him. As a result, I have spent the last 7 months trusting the Apple advice and been blissfully unaware my Imac is indeed vulnerable. I was so worried about potential risks to the expensive Imac that I actually asked her outright if I should buy an antivirus for it to keep it safe and she told me that wasn't necessary. It was this bit of information that really made me consider Apple and ultimately why I ended up spending twice as much on an Imac than I was planning to spend on my new Windows laptop. I was looking for a replacement for my laptop which at this time and stopping in the Apple store was a purely impulsive thing, I had no desire to buy one at this stage as I had no reason to believe them to be any better than Windows, just a lot more expensive. When sold the Imac I was told by the woman who dealt with me it was not possible for Imacs to get viruses or key loggers, both of which I enquired about specifically because I was so fed up with my Windows laptops getting them.
The Game Master who dealt with my query told me this was only possible if my computer had been infected with some kind of key logger or virus. Within two days my account had been hacked and my email account had been hacked to do so. I play online games and recently I started playing them again after a few months break, the first time I had done so on my Imac.
