[QUOTE="GrimbeornOld, post: 1747448, member: 388960"] I have this old external hard drive with personal files (images, photos, videos, music) - personal as I made it, no one else has used it. But now moving to Mac, I want to put stuff from there to Mac. I could scan it with Windows tools, but that would mean nothing. How big is chance files that came from Windows contain something that could be dangerous to Mac? I heard using real time scanner for Mac is same as killing it and only recommended tool Malwarebytes does not scan files like that so I'm not sure if there is anything else to do. [/QUOTE]
