Actually, download Hitman Pro 3 and scan it. If it doesn't find a thing, you're alright. If it does find a thing, it'll get rid of it and you'll be alright too. Catches stuff MBAM can't.
C'mon guys, don't pull off the Mac card. =
Virus free since 2005, with a PC, because I learned not to be completely retarded with a computer. C'mon guys, don't pull off the Mac card. =
Yes you have, with anti-virus/malware software and having to be careful. Right on, good for you buddy! A lot of people that are not a complete retard with computers still get viruses. It was just a joke, get over it...
download rkill and then get malware bytes, that fuckin virus pops its self on to my laptop everynow and then. this will fix it.
Well, If apple gets even more popular (especially in the consumer market), Mac viruses will appear... It´s just a matter of time.
The reason there aren't many mac virus's (there are two that effect 10.5 and two for 10.6?) not because of the number of macs, it's because of the way the super user account behaves and the fact that apps are 'sand boxed' so it's not really worth anyones while to program viruses for them aha.

OS X 101
Firstly it's far from perfect aha.
The super user (or root user as it's known as on OS X) account on OS X is similar to the administrator account on a windows machine in that it can edit files without restriction. The main difference though being that you don't use the root user account ever on OS X, you use a sub level of it which has some restrictions, so when you're prompted for a admin password by a program you aren't giving anything free roam of your OS. Which means should you accidentally install a virus it wouldn't be able to wreak havok with your system files.
Sand boxing means that each app/program runs in its own section or 'sandbox', so say for instance when you are using safari and you download and install a virus, that virus can only mess with safari. What's more is that if the virus doesn't have anything to do with safari it won't even run and if the virus were to run in safari it couldn't fuck with other apps due to the 'sandbox'.
Ok, did a system restore.. At first my desktop was normal, but after about a minute I got fucked again.. Spose' it's time to bust out Malwarebytes??
