Dear Macrumors,
a "Computer will sleep in 10min" popup window has appeared on my desktop. It appears to be the standard Apple popup for scheduled sleep/shutdown. When I click on "abort", it instantly appears again and sets it self to focus, possible after each keystroke. Thus, I am not able to use the keyboard to open terminal or activity manager to shut it down. The classic troll malware I suppose.
It even appears after I login in safe mode. What should I do? Can I abort/delete the script/malware from the terminal in Recovery Partition?
I know it would be easist to just wipe and restore to backup, but my most recent backup is 6 months old. I promise to buy a HDD tomorrow if I'm able to resolve it.
I am sorry to ask for assistance, but for all the articles about how to create this Kind of Malware, I could not find one single article that helped me to resolve it. Please help me.
Thank you very much.
Lukas
