hello.
i recently purchaed a macbook pro. i think it's great. however, my brother also just bought an ipad and uses my macbook pro to put music and books on.
i just went over to him and noticed him downloading ebooks and mp3 files from dodgy looking sites. he had downloaded rar files and things. the history showde that he had been on lots of bad sites like file hosting sites.
these were some of the sites;
they were some of the sites i found in my histroy. there were also many pop ups all over my mac.
i have now banned him from my computer. i have cleared all of my private data on safari, and scanned all the files he had downloaded with my anti-virus - virus barrier x6. they cone back okay, but i have deleted them anyway. i have also performed a full virus scan of my mac and it has come back clean.
is my mac clean then? how about my personal files on my computer? i have important sensitive data on here. is that safe and clean? are those websites known for giving out viruses or malware? or would my anti virus protect my files and computer and keep it all clean?
THANK YOU SO MUCH
