How to Remove a Trojan Virus With Free Virus Cleaners on a MacBook

Macbooks can sometimes get viruses too.

While computer viruses are much more common on PCs than on Macs, that does not mean that Macs are incapable of getting infected by them. The Mac operating system is much more resilient to virus infection, but new viruses have been released that are designed to attack vulnerable Macs. Several free anti-virus programs designed for Macs and Macbooks can help in removing Trojan viruses from the system.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Download a free anti-virus program designed for Macs. There are several tools available, such as iAntivirus and Internet Security Barrier, that are free for a 30-day trial.

2. Click on the virus program to open it and click on "Update" to get the most recent virus definitions. This will make the program much more effective against Trojans.

3. Scan your Macbook by clicking the "Scan" button. The program should locate the Trojan and delete it.
