Title: How do I tell if I have a virus
Post by: macswife on April 21, 2011, 12:31:20 AM

I DL'd Avast, ran it and it came up with "8" viruses. I put them in the vault, then got rid of them after talking to a computer tech who said they really were not viruses but seen as a threat from my voice mail program from my iphone to the mac.
So, how do I really tell if I have a virus? I checked my mac and we scanned the PC. Yet, I had some major issues with gmail the other day, which leads me to believe my husband's x wife found someone to hack into our computer via a virus. (her step son told his mom who called us (same night I had issues in gmail trying to forward her crazy voice mails to the attorney.) We were able to save the voice mails before anything happened BUT what the heck! Gmail is all now set up with the new verification way but I want to find out how they accessed the information!!
Any clues or insight!?!?

Post the file names, locations and the malware name of the detections.
