Saw a cartoon on twitter that i clicked on it turned out to be a virus. My MacBook beeped and then a page with an apple icon came up saying I had been infected. i went to library/launch daemon agents and trashed two things with today’s date. Then installed avast. 1161 unreadable files (and counting), 84 infections. Ran malwarebytes which identified and destroyed two threats. I have a ton of important work on my mac (a 350 page book, hundreds of business related folders and files). should I back up and risk infecting my external HD?
all easy to understand advice for this tech lightweight gratefully appreciated
thanks for replying.
Is this a link to a specific thread? or just a general Avast for Mac page?
Thanks

It is for the Avast Mac Security sub-forum as this particular sub-forum is for Windows versions of avast. You are less likely to get a response in the Windows side as most people aren’t using avast for mac also.
