Hi,
I'm in a complete panic now: my Bitdefender antivirus just informed me that the file "SmcFlasher.efi" is infected with " Gen:Trojan 1044800800". It is unable to disinfect or quarantine it. I ran the scan after noticing decreased performance with my mac.
My mac is the 13 inch bog standard Macbook pro that came shipped with OX lion. I can’t say more than that, as I can’t bring myself to turn it on and am using the school computer. Call me silly, but I’m having panic attacks over this, such things always have done since I was a child (boy, was that fun when my sister downloaded vundo onto an old PC).
I’ve tried googling but aren’t coming up with much, beyond deleting smcflasher.efi being a bad idea. Part of the issue is that this laptop was given to me as part of disabled students along with quite a lot of school software, so I’m scared stiff to delete anything.
Any advice? Ta very much.
