Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.Ģ. The process is much less complicated than the description. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.ĭon't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. I have a guess a 3 part question if anyone can help:ġ) Does anyone know what this is and what I can do if it is bad?Ģ) Is there any easier way than just manually to search recently modified folders? I didn't know if it was a virus or something that would affect my other folders, but I basically just manually checked everything in finder to make sure no folders besides the ones I deleted were modified.ģ) Should I use a virus scan or something, and would anyone be able to direct me to a reputable, possibly free, one?ġ. I removed it and deleted it, as well as another file that was downloaded with it, but want to make sure I'm all set. I usually just leave them but I accidentally clicked on the download button and it downloaded something and then opened it.Īn Application called "K9 Mac Optimizer" was from then on in my application folder. I guess it was for a BitTorrent (which I have no idea what it is) and it brought me to some download page.

Hi I don't really know much about Mac's so I would really appreciate some help.
