Hey everyone,

I was just curious if there was anyway to indicate that a macbook hasn't been affected by a trojan. I was pretty naive when I first had a mac and until this year I wasn't really aware of the potential malware hazards. I do not believe I had the firewall enabled (it was surprising for me to find that this is off by default) and was probably fickle with the updates of the system (I know that I have done them at times but I had a tendency to procrastinate a lot). I have always used the laptop from behind a router if that matters, but I'm concerned that I could have accidentally installed a trojan or something to that degree since I had no idea the possibility existed at the time. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
