Your Mac comes with built in protection and does not need third-party security. Third-party protection can cause issues to your Mac for which Apple nor ATSU are responsible. However, both ATSU and Apple can help you troubleshoot if you suspect you have a third-party security problem. Some programs that can cause harm or be a scam:
- Mac Keeper
- Little Snitch
- Norton Antivirus
- Megabackup
- Detox my mac
Removal of P2P on Apple Macintosh Computers
- Quit all file-sharing programs
- Locate the folder containing the P2P software that you want to remove. It is usually in the applications folder
- Double-click the P2P program’s folder to examine its contents
- Some Macintosh-compatible P2P programs come with an “uninstall” program. If you see an “uninstall” or “uninstaller” program, run it to remove the P2P software
- If you do not see such a program, go back to the applications folder, and move the P2P program’s folder into the trash
- Empty your computer’s trash folder
- Go to the Apple menu and select Restart to reboot your computer
