Last night, I made the mistake of downloading an app called "Wine" and "Winebottler". These are apps that allow Windows programs to be played on Macintosh without installing Windows. I ended up with 13 new OSX Trojan Horses on my Macintosh. These apps kept on installing add ons to the iTunes Store. I knew I was in trouble immediately, I guess, by instinct.I had also installed Wineskin for the same purpose, but I don't think that was the problem as I found no Trojan Horses associated with this app. I had my security set to download from App Store and Trusted Developers only. I am now going to upgrade my security to download from App Store only now, but I don't know for sure if that will help.





Luckily, I had Kaspersky on my Mac, and it kept on finding Trojan Horses on a full scan. I had firevault on and iCloud on. I am wondering now if my iCloud account is infected. I am currently erasing my whole hard drive and reinstalling. I will not turn on iCloud until I get some advice. For those that are unaware, I know we are in a cyberwar. I don't know where these apps originated, but I wanted the community to know this. I've used Macintosh since the first day it was available in 1984. I've never had troubles with viruses and Trojan Horses like this, except for two that were found by Kaspersky a couple of months ago and were easily found, isolated and disinfected. Not these. Most were easily disinfected: all but two. I had to restart the computer and Kaspersky got rid of them. Kaspersky is a great program, but I wasn't sure if it got rid of everything, which led me to erase and reinstall.





Please inform my about how secure iCloud is against attached viruses or should I delete my account.
