Just downloaded a free trail of ESET Cybersecurity for MAC. My MAC is now running at perfect speed again and my Internet is going fine. I guess they aren't 100% safe. I trust MAC more than PC any day, but it's silly to think that virus' don't exist for them, just a very small minority I guess, but they are out there. Ok, they may not have been virus' but I had 6 threats, malware, spyware, whatever, MACs can be infected.

Cheers for the replies though people. Click to expand.Wow GG, no need to be so hostile. Like I said, it may not be a virus, could have been malware, spyware, whatever. I haven't installed, and never would, install anything that I didn't know what it was. The fact is, ESET found 6 threats.

It didn't give me the option to view the scan report, which I found strange, maybe because it's a free trail, otherwise I would have posted the report in here. I have no reason to lie, otherwise I wouldn't of posted a reply.

ESET found 6 threats and deleted 6 threats. That's all I care about, they are gone and the fact is, it found something, 6 'somethings' so maybe I can't name them, who cares, they exist and I know I never installed anything I wasn't aware of.

So god knows how they got there. I don't open emails I don't know who they came from either, I am VERY careful when it comes to my computer security so these 'threats' must have recently been 'planted' as it has only been the last couple of days that I've noticed my MAC performance being slower, hence the thread I made, as it took me by surprise. I could have taken the advise and words that users posted in here that virues DON'T exist for MACs, fair enough, my fault for the title of the thread being misleading, but that is because I did not know if it was a virus or not, but I didn't take their advise, I read them, reflected, sought out a virus scan for MAC and ran a scan, giving me the results mentioned. I to have heard there are no virues and what not for MAC, so yeah, I'm surprised as well. They are gone now, but they existed, that is what is worrying. • What is ESET Cybersecurity for Mac?

No, ESET Smart Security for Mac does not currently exist. Click to expand.These could have been the issue in terms of performance degradation because Java is cross platform but they posed no real threat to your Mac. Although, I have not heard of these causing such issues. The payloads downloaded by the Java downloader would have been for Windows or they would have prompted for authentication if for Mac (for example, Boonana was cross platform and used a Java downloader but the payload for Mac required authentication to install unless user logged into root account). This type of trojans that require use of Java to download the payload (keylogger, rootkit, etc that requires authentication) are best avoided by turning off Java in your web browser or installing an extension that provides control over Java.
