Yes, my shop has had several legit malware removals for Macs, most of them were either Mackeeper or Genieo (or its variants), which was probably installed beginning with a malicious ad on some site the user was visiting.
(I'm not disputing that the situation for Mac users is still significantly better than for Windows users though.)
- snurk 11y agoThe question asked about viruses, not malware.
- thaumaturgy 11y agoThe two terms are synonymous at this point. If you want to be that pedantic, I think you'd find that a Windows virus hasn't been seen in the wild in a long time either.
