Infected files in my /caches/cloudkit

system · 2017-05-26T02:37:17.000Z

I have these listed in my /caches/cloudkit:
CloudKitMetadata com.apple.accountsd
CloudKitMetadata-shm com.apple.callhistory.sync-helper
CloudKitMetadata-wal com.apple.clouddocs
com.apple.Safari

Not sure why but Avast keeps prompting that various PDF files in cloudkit here are infected. How should I go about removing them?

Not sure why but Avast keeps prompting that various PDF files in cloudkit here are infected.

And what malware does avast say they containe? Anything in avast chest (quarantine) ?

Have you tried to clear cloudkit / browser cache ?

Could be the pdf’s contain links to blacklisted sites.

Hi guys,

I think it could be link in the PDF and as long as I don;'t open them I’m safe. I just want to get Avast to stop sending these popups. It’s getting annoying.

That is why I asked what avast say / what malware name is given?

“PDF:UrlMal-inf [Trj]”

I also cannot turn off the pop ups which clutter my screen.

Yup, it is the link(s) in the PDF’s that are causing the problem.
