Being a new comer to the Apple world - iPhone and MacBook Pro - I'm rather hesatent to install or use anything that has a .zip extension. I feel its to my benefit to use approved programs/apps with the .dmg extension. With this trojan needing to be address, how do folks on this forum feel about using .zip files for what ever reason?

By the way, I went to an Apple store and had them assist me with this malware. By golly my machine was infected and they removed it. So I'm clean as of now.

On a related subject, I asked them to recomend an AV program. The tech suggested ESET Cyber Security and Kaperski AV. Any and all comments on these two programs will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Alioop
