Hi guys,
I was going to download an application from http://download.cnet.com/but unwanted another app "mac optimizer"was downloaded. (with google chrome on my macbook pro El Capitan 10.11.3 ) I didn't notice that it's not the app I was going to download. I installed it. The installation process looked like windows software installation! It opened automatically after installation and started to give me alarms to fix my system errors and optimize the system. I searched for this app on the web but it is suspiciously unknown. I found the source website address inside the application. But it seems really unofficial. This is the address: http://www.optimizeyourmac.com/
I just deleted it from the application folder but now I'm really worried about my system security. please let me know if possibly it could access my passwords or other information. and what should I do right now? and how can I get sure about my macbook security?
Thank you
