The three applications that were installed (that I could find after deep digging) were: MegaBackup, Advanced Mac Cleaner, and Mac-File-Opener. But for the most part, the company that made them (PCVARK) is using very aggressive and shady tactics to try and sell its product. People may actually use these applications. Essentially, they try to get you to sign up for extra services and hijack browser sessions in an attempt for clicks. They are unwanted applications (IMO) designed to make money. These programs that are installed, from what I can tell, are not spyware. This time, I decided to write everything down it took to clean it off. Tonight, the same exact thing happened to my wife. I spent about three hours searching various sites and cleaning off my machine. When I did that, it immediately downloaded a DMG file, and we were off to the races. Well in this case, I did not go to the official site but clicked the very official looking button to update flash.

But, if you need Flash, do yourself a favor and install it from the official site: ( ).

If you can avoid Flash do so at all costs. But recently I was on a conference call and taking care of a personal task at the same time, when I quickly without paying attention, clicked on a link to update my flash player. Just like on a Windows system, the easiest way you can get infected isВ when you are not paying attention. That doesnвЂ™t mean you are completely safe though. One of the things I love about using a Mac is that there is very little malware or viruses.
