And that let the malware get installed with your authority.  Legitimate Flash puts an icon in System Preferences that takes you to Adobe.com to get the legitimate updates directly from them. Bad guys have been using Flash as an entry point for a long time and have it to the point where it looks pretty legit. As a safe browsing tip, never click on a popup box to install anything. If you want the software, go to either the Mac App Store or directly to the developer to get the software. Middlemen tend to add stuff that you don't want/need.I'm with LIAB, get rid of everything in that report.</blockquote>
