VIRUS on MacOS

[Mich43l777]

So like I am 100% sure because as a kid all of my computers were Windows and I got on those computers a lot of viruses so I know how it looks. On the all of the sudden, I was copying text from word to website based on things like Grammarly.

I saw this:

My friend uses Phyton launcer, makes .dgm files from scripts on Github. Thinks like auto like instagram posts and etc. I got one app from the internet - not the app store. Clean my Mac says there is no virus but I disbelive.

So do I have now to delete all of the files I have and factory reset to the ground the Mac?

Really thanks if someone knows why this happend.

Are you referring to the graphics glitches? What model MBP is that?

 

[fisherking]

yes, it looks like a graphics glitch (not a 'virus'). try rebooting...

 

[Mich43l777]

thanks. it is the 13 base model 2019 - first one with the touchbar.

That’s no virus - it’s some sort of graphics glitch that’s frozen the MB.

This is all down to Hollywood - a virus in the movies invariably likes to present itself visually and audibly - preferably by a melting screen effect accompanied by an evil laugh.

Malware will either be silent and deadly, will present ad after ad, or show you a ransom message.

If the issue persists take it into Apple. I have the same model and have not seen graphics issues and also haven't seen any posts about graphical issues being widespread. If you continue to see this there may be some thermal issues with the hardware causing this. It's an integrated GPU (attached the processor on the machine) so less likely but this can still happen.

Do you install any Anti-Virus Software? may be some anti-virus driver conflicting with graphic card driver.

if so, you could uninstall Anti-Virus software and I think it will fix issue.
