How do make sure a trojan how be 100% remove from my Macbook pro?

3 days a go my Kaspersky security had found a two trojans on my Macbook pro I use Kaspersky security on my system. I all so put up a screenshot from my Kaspersky reports to show you guys where the two trojans where found on my system. But I still believe the trojans or hiding deep in my system now because every time I do a full scan every night when the scan is nearly finished a folder pops up on my desktop call boot OX stays onscreen for 2 seconds and disappears again. What can I do to make sure my Mac is 100% clean?

Those aren't trojans. Those are files your AV software cannot identify, so it labels them as infected. This term relates to a virus, not a trojan.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:

If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express or Dr. Web Light, both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)

  • How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray?  I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

    Sure can.
    With a document open in Pages, select to print so that you can see the print dialog as shown below.
    Note that to see this view, you may need to press the Show Details button in the bottom left corner. In the image above, since I have the expanded view displayed, this button changes to Hide Details
    So with the view shown, first change the Presets menu to Default Settings. Then click the Layout drop menu and select Quality & Media. Make the changes you want and then click on the Presets menu and select Save Current Settings as Preset...
    At the next window, give the Preset a name and select the Only this Printer radio button and then click OK to save it. That's it.
    As for the Preset that you already have, if you no longer want this preset then you can delete it via the Show Presets menu pane that you've used already.

  • How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?

    Apparently my hard drive is full and I need to remove files so I have space to download more music and movies.  I don't want to delete important files.  How do I go about doing this? 

    How do I know what files to remove from my Macbook Pro laptop?
    Remove only files you yourself stored on the laptop; files in your Home folder. Don't delete any files from the system libraries, and if you want to remove applications, use the provided uninstallers.
    For files in the media libraries - iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie use the application to delete music, photos, movies.
    If you are planning on storing more movies and music on your mac, deleting old files will probably not suffice alone to free enough space. Consider to get yourself an external drive to store your media.

    And if you don't use that computer often be prepared for the mountains of new notifications the next time you run it.  Especially if your like me and use your iPhone and iPad a lot for texting people.  Wish iMessage in ML would know what you read somewhere else like iPad and iPhone does
    I don't quite understand what you are saying? If i recieve and read an iMessage on the iPhone and then switch on my Mac, I don't get a notification about a new message, but that iMessage appears on the conversation.

  • How to transfer CS6 from old macbook pro to new one?

    how to transfer CS6 from old macbook pro to new one?
    many thanks - is it something to do with deactivation?
    How long does it take for the whole process?

    do not transfer.  install all adobe products (including cs6) using their installer.
    the whole process depends on a number of factors, but generally takes more than 10 minutes and less than 2 hours.  the biggest factor is your download speed if you need to download the installation file(s).
    Downloads available:
    Suite:  CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4 | CS3
    Acrobat:  XI, X | 9,8
    Premiere Elements:  12 | 11, 10 | 9, 8, 7
    Photoshop Elements:  12 | 11, 10 | 9,8,7

  • HOW CAN I AIRPLAY FROM MY MACBOOK PRO

    HOW CAN I AIRPLAY FROM MY MACBOOK PRO

    The graphics chipset in pre-2011 Macs will not support the AirPlay feature. I guess Apple could have withheld the feature for everyone, or provided free graphic upgrades for all older Macs. Neither choice makes much sense. It's a shame, but the Mac and iOS products have a lot more going for them than this one feature.
    AirParrot is said to work for some machines. I tried it on my 2008 iMac, and it left a lot to be desired

  • How do unistall programs from my macbook pro?

    i just cant seem to find out how to unistall and remove programs from my macbook pro. any suggestions?

    It depends upon how the application got there in the first place. Many applications can be uninstalled by simply dragging them from the Applications folder into the trash. (You may have to authenticate.).  Some applications come with their own uninstaller, usually in the Applications folder or in a folder in the Applications folder dedicated to the application in question. 
    If you have a dock icon left over, you can just drag it off of the dock.

  • My quandary is how to transfer EVERYTHING from a Macbook pro that won't boot up to a new one, will the usual linking with a firewire lead still work?

    I have an early intel Macbook Pro that wouldn't wake from sleep and won't now boot up, i'm just going to replace it with a new 13" i5 but i need to transfer the last five years of my life off the dead one to the new one, there's nearly 3 grand of music software and mp3's before i even think about the 10 years of photographs and videos, some of it is backed up but i ideally want to just transfer it all over.
    what are my options? will linking the two together with a firewire or similar still be possible without the old one booting up (it still has power and turns on but the sleep light is constantly lit but very dim, the hard drive does sound like it's spinning up) or am I best removing the old Hard drive and putting it in an external case, would I be able to access directories and folders or could i boot up off an external drive or would there be hardware compatibility problems?
    without sounding off i'd appreciate any complicated processes be explained in beginner to intermediate levels of "GEEK" i'm far from a pro but should be able to muddle through!!!
    you've no idea how much any help with this will be appreciated!!!

    Since the old MBP is dead the only option is to remove the hard drive and use a SATA/IDE to USB adapter to get all your stuff off the old drive.
    One note though make sure you use the same user name and passord on your new MBP as you had on the old one.
    As to software hopefully you have all the license information written down other wise you may have a hard time reinstalling some of it. Also be aware that OS X Lion will not run older PPC software. So if you have older programs that used Rosetta to run it will not run on Lion.
    Good luck with everything.

    I cannot seem to print photos in iPhotos on my MacBook Pro on my HP4580 all-in-one printer?

    Make sure you've cropped your photo in iPhoto to the same size as the paper size selected if you want a borderless print and have selected the same print size.
