Maybe Mac systems are less vulnerable, but they can still be targeted anytime by malicious software such as adware and malware. It has firm built-in security coming from the factory, but once users integrate third-party applications, Mac systems can be vulnerable to threats.

Even though an anti-virus program is installed on your Mac system, this doesn’t mean that it is running clean and well protected. Security programs, especially outdated ones, tend to have some flaws that are being exploited by malware authors to conceal the presence of their malicious code.

By luck I found out about JakeCares and stumbled across a step by step that fixed any problem I had with my Mac helping me manually remove the immediate malware.
