I have just done a full scan on my imac and it has found this malware in mail downloads. I have put into into trash and emtiped the trash but do you know if this has now got rid of the malware

Hello,

 

Based on brief Google Search about "ilivid malware" --> this is something as Potential Unwanted Application and/or related with some payloads (addons for browser/toolbars/adware and so); Usually such applications can be installed manually (so.. as valid software; but with certain tricks during installation; or with their work);

So -> partly not clear why it was under mail downloads?! (most likely detection for attached files?! indeed downloaded file); But - if you did remove it (and after some other steps) -> possible to re-run Full Scan.

 

General meanings can be: re-check that installed only known/trusted/good applications under your system; re-check your browser's settings about potential suspicious things or items; And re-sure about point like "does it was installed or not" (or only 'installer' placed under system - if it applicable for Mac-platform).

 

Maybe possible to re-check web about certain concern;

I'm not friendly with Mac-platform - so I search some articles and one of examples:

Sorry for my reply. I'm also only F-Secure user (their home solutions);

 

Thanks!
