my mac crashed hard a week ago … i had sophos installed and ran it daily … and ran it after i recovered the macbook hd … it found nothing…
I’ve only moved to a mac because my PC was hacked/backdoor… and router reprogrammed . … so i’m a bit paranoid. (i do have a new router too)
a friend recommended Avast …
i ran it and found Win32.Smadow-G [Trj]

[/suspicious]
I have no idea how long it has actually been there.
I know exe viruses won’t run on my mac, but I need to try to find out what the potential threat this thing may have been to my Mac and data… and what else i should do.
I use a password vault software so i don’t type password information in any sites directly, but again, paranoid … I have changed many of my secure passwords.
Thank you for any assistance/suggestions.
