Adware Mac bundlore from download. What to do?

[Mr. 123]

Hi,
I downloaded two wallpapers from a website but the downloaded files turned out to have the file names adware mac bundlore.
I ran Bitdefender which deleted one of the files but said it couldn't delete the other. Since then I have deleted the remaining file in "Downloads".

I didn't install anything, I just downloaded 2 files. So is my system safe now or is there adware or a virus still there?

Thanks in advance for any help!

I answered you in your other post.
Not a good idea to post multiple threads with the same questions...

Agreed, I tried to remove the one in the iMac section but couldn't.

Thanks for the tips! I have now run Malwarebytes. It completed the scan in 30 seconds and reports no malware, virus or infected files. Does that mean that the computer is safe or is there a longer more through scan within Malwarebytes which one can do?

@mods, you can delete this thread as it's a duplicate.

MODERATOR NOTE: I have merged the two threads and deleted a couple duplicate posts. But please note, more than just "not a good idea", it's against the forum rules to post duplicate threads. It's all good now though.

Thanks! Didn’t know there’s not a delete button for threads…😂

In a sense there is.... to have a thread deleted or moved, just click the "report" button and say so. The moderators will take care of it.

So, with Malwarebytes not finding any infected files, is this issue resolved and I can just continue to use the iMac normally?
