Hi,

I am new to the forum, and fear that I may have inadvertently installed spyware software on my MacBook computer. I was sent a link via e-mail, and fear that the sender intended to use it to install spyware on my computer. When I clicked on the link (hxxps://mail.google.com/mail/mu/mp/776/ ... 0ee926c6b3) it opened up a Gmail login screen.

The link itself looks innocent, but is it possible that clicking on this link could have installed something malicious on my Mac? Is there a way for me to check my Mac for the presence of any such spyware or malware?

Your quick help is very much much appreciated.

Thanks,

John

This forum does not work with Mac computers, only with Microsoft Windows based systems.

The following forums have support for Macs, however I couldn't say whether that includes Malware removal support ...

http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f65/

.... The level of help at all the above forums is generally very good.

We are sorry we can not offer you assistance with this matter.
