[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1357027, member: 46727"] Posted in the wrong forum... your post has been moved here to the "Switcher" forum as it does not belong in "Community Announcements". That's a Windows virus which has no impact whatsoever on your Mac but it's good that you removed it anyway. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you do not have any kind of sharing turned on. Also, if you're using wireless make sure you have strong encryption enacted such as WPA2. Never use wireless in the clear or with WEP encryption. And if you do use public in the clear wireless such as from Starbucks or Panera, never access your financial information or transmit any sensitive information like your SSAN or CC numbers. If you are a member of any social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc) change your password to a strong combination of letters, numbers, and characters. Also do likewise with your email and ISP provider. And lastly, read our Sticky post regarding viruses and AV software. (At the top of this forum) [/QUOTE]
