OS X: security warning. The virus is around you.

 

According to the previous documents, the security company issued a Mac OS X virus warning. Let's take a look at how to determine if your Mac system is infected.

 

The first step is very simple. Although you may be a newbie, don't be nervous, as long as you copy + paste.

First, go to the utilities directory in applications (click any blank area of your desktop, go to the Go menu, and find utilities below) and run the terminal. app program. In the terminal window that appears, enter the following command (from webpage copy to paste to Terminal)

Lsof-I TCP: 8254

 

If you do not see any returned information, congratulations, your system has not been intruded by a spy, just like what I have shown here.

 

 

Otherwise, you should be careful, buy anti-virus software, or do it yourself.

 

If you want to do it yourself, see the following tips to find its clues.

Or in the utilities directory, run activity monitor. App.

Select all processes and click process name to sort by name.

If you can find a process such as "premieropinion", you can view its details to find information such as how it runs and what files it opened.

Because I do not have the spyware sample yet, I cannot provide detailed suggestions for removing it.
