Pwnet-L
« on: July 15, 2018, 09:44:08 PM »
So I did a scan of my Mac today and something really weird showed up that I can't find any info on online.

MacOS:Pwnet-L (Trj) that was apparently found in /Applications/Backup and Sync.app/Contents/Helpers/Google Drive Icon Helper?

What is this? I assume it's a trojan but how did it get on my computer? I haven't installed anything since my last scan in June and Backup and sync was installed in may (but I don't remember installing it)

What could it have been doing with my computer? Should I remove Backup and sync???

I removed the trojan itself from my computer but I am really confused. Should I be worried?

Any help is appreciated!
