In answering my request, you might help thousands of other Mac users. I want feedback and suggestions for the hard realities of life on the net at the beginning of 2014. I searched the Apple support communities and found some older related posts, some going back to 2007 or 2009, which are not relevant today, such as the advice to use MacScan (no longer deemed a viable app), and the ongoing debate whether MacKeeper itself is malware. One option is upgrading to Mavericks, but I still havesome criticval apps that are not yet Mavericks compliant, so that delays the upgrade.Īnother option is wiping my disk, doing a clean reinstall of the OS, and re-installing apps one at a time (means I lose days of productivity as all get rebuilt).Īnother option is finding and installing better spyware detection and removal app (or apps) than I have installed so far. I am still seeing the little blips, if fewer than before, so I wonder if there is still some root level malware that has not yet been detected and removed. I have since installed highly recommended always-on security apps like Avast and Avira and Kasperski for live filtering (thinking that what one does not catch another will) along run-only-on-command apps like BitDefender and ClamX (each catches items the other misses). I uspect that spyware or some other malware somehow has been installed on my machine. Lately I keep get odd little blips on my Mac screen when I open apps and or use various browsers.
