Mac Anti Virus - How to Secure Your Mac OS and Get Rid of the Latest Trojan

Using an Anti Virus for Mac system is not uncommon any more. Until some years back Mac viruses, malware, adware and other malicious items were almost impossible to find but now hackers are targeting the Mac OS very aggressively.

Recently we heard of a new Trojan horse that tried to attack a good number or Mac systems. This Trojan tried to trick the user into buying a fake antivirus for Mac by making the user believe that his/her system had been infected with a malware. As this malware is installed various pornographic sites open up and you get pop ups to upgrade to the latest version of this software so that your credit card information can be recorded. Though one of the good things about this Trojan was that it was unable to install itself, a good number of Mac users became a victim of this malware

Getting rid of this Trojan

It is also known as Mac defender, Mac security or other similar names. It is quite easy to get rid of this malware because it runs in the background and you are promoted to install it. You can easily remove it by following this procedure.

• Open the activity monitor and find any of these names like Mac security, Mac defender etc.
• Select it and click "quit process" or select "force-quit" if required.
• Go to the download/application folder and locate the installer file. Move this file to trash and then empty the trash.
• Go to Account and select system preferences. Remove all instances of this Trojan from the Login items as well.

Some easy Tips to keep your Mac system secure

• Though Apple makes it a point to open only safe files but your system cannot judge if the file is really safe. It is better to disable this feature by unchecking this feature in Safari's Preferences.
• Another important point that must be kept in mind that when you are using internet, various programs are downloaded automatically. It is always a good practice to manually install every new program. This trick is useful not just for Mac systems but for Windows also to some extent.
• Anti Adware, Anti viruses and other internet security tools are available for Mac also therefore it is better to install a good Mac Antivirus, Internet protection tool for Mac from a reputed brand so that your system remains protected all the time.

Hard Drive clean up..!

Wonder why your computer is getting so slow lately? Most often, it's just your hard drive is getting full or carying too many junk files. Most of these files are temporary files and perfectly safe to be deleted. Cleaning up your hard drive every once in awhile will improve your PC performance.
You might wonder: Why Windows keeps those files if they're not necessary? "Temporary Internet Files", for example, everytime you browse to a webpage, your web browser requests the contents from the host, saves them locally as cache, then displays the contents to your browser window. Now, to speed up the access time when you come back to the same page, your web browser might re-use those cache files if they're not changed from the webpage.
"Temporary Internet Files" are just one example of the temporary files you can clean up. Follow the steps below to clean up other temporary sources as well.
Most likely, temporary files are stored in the Operating System drive ("C Drive"), but it doesn't hurt to do a cleanup all of your hard drives every once in awhile.
Use this trick at your own risks
