[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1610320, member: 54417"] Finding a trojan on your computer is not easy, but you can check for the following symptoms - Slow response ( a high percentage of CPU with no programs loaded .... use activity monitor ) - High network usage This is not a 100% fool proof test mechanism, only an indication. Usually a trojan will ' call home ' at some point in time to receive orders/commands to execute. If you are monitoring outgoing traffic using Little Snitch, you can see what applications are contacting the outside world. Then you can verify each application and decide if the outgoing traffic is legitimate or not. Cheers ... McBie PS.... I don't know about any malware on iOS devices ( your iPad ) [/QUOTE]
