[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1279527, member: 24098"] Note: I moved this thread from our 'Community Suggestions & Feedback' forum, since we do actually have a forum specific to discussion about 'OS X - Applications and Games'. As to your question - it's very unlikely Kaspersky found anything that could actually effect your Mac, since there are something like 3 or 4 trojans on the Mac (as compared to hundreds of thousands for Windows), all of which are VERY evident if you have one. You also must enter your admin password to install them, so it's not as though it could have just shown up out of nowhere. The best thing you can do to ensure your computer is running "top notch" is to uninstall Kaspersky and enjoy your computer.
