Hi,
I was researching an issue with flash player and the article linked below from ZDNET lede to check if I had either of the directories it refers to on my machine.
Article: http://www.zdnet.com/article/new-mac-malware-spies-on-you-via-adium-firefox-safari-skype/
Here are the directories I found on my system:
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/appleHID/
/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/XPCServices/
I was concerned so I installed Sophos and did a scan but it says "No threats found". I realize that the trojan will supposedly not work on systems running Mountain Lion or later (I'm on Yosemite 10.10) but I'm surprised that Sophos just ignores it.
So, should I delete these folders? Does anyone have any idea what other files this thing creates? Incidentally I found these directories on both my iMac and my Macair which are both on Yosemite 10.10.
Any information of help appreciated.
