well I am confused how your managed to get a trogan on a mac computer but i would look for some antivirus software and let it scan your computer (not sure what is available on mac)

Definition of a Trojan is a malware written into and hard compiled into a program; that's why Anti-Malware programs "quaranteen" them at most, delete the offending software would do.

If you know what it does (VERY SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS HERE), then I'll be around to help you.

If you have the Conduit virus (very common), you can go to the 3 stacked grey lines on the top right of an open Chrome window. Go to Settings. In Settings, search for On Startup and select the Open the New Tab page. Also search for Search. Click on Manage search engines. In that, Select Google and set it to Default. I recommend deleting all other options in there.

Try to find the name of the Trojan and search for that name in the Finder in your OS. The finder icon looks like this http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/imag...Week-2.jpg

Search for the name of the Trojan in that, specifically, under ____ (whatever you named your computer, mine's just my first name). Should come up, send all those files to the Trash.


Hope this lengthy solution helps!
