Mac Malware Alert

July 23, 2021 By David Leaman

Possible Mac Malware Alert

**This message is intended ONLY for Mac computer users.**

Please use the following steps to check for the possible Mac Malware.

1. Open Finder.

2. In the Menu Bar at the top of your screen, click on “Go”.

3. From the drop-down list that appears, click on “Go to Folder”.

4. Copy/paste the following into the window.

~/Library/LaunchAgents/

5. If you have any Launch Agents installed, this will open the LaunchAgents subfolder, where you should see only a few files and they should be recognizable, like “com.dropbox…..”, etc. If you have the following file, delete it and then restart your Mac.
 
“com.wznlVRt83Jsd.HPyT0b4Hwxh.plist”

If you do not have any Launch Agents installed, you also do not have the malware installed and you will not see the LaunchAgents subfolder. You will get a tutorial saying “File Not Found”, in which case you don’t need to do anything else.
