How do you tell if your macbook pro has a virus?

How can I be sure that my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 does not have a virus?
My email was suspended by the hosting company saying that the account was sending out spam.
They told me to run anti-virus on the computer and make sure it was clean; then they would take my email off suspension.
Please help, I need to have access to my email account!
Thanks

You don't have any viruses. It sounds like you may be getting scammed. Has your email account actually been locked? If it has, then send them an email stating you have no viruses on your Mac computer. Check first to be sure the email came from your hosing company's email address.

  • Can you tell if your MacBook Pro has latest revision logic board??

    is there any way to tell if your MacBook Pro has latest revision logic board??

    I'm awaiting the same thing, also in the U.K. The service center told me that they've had many of these repairs, and that there is a substantial backorder for logic boards in the U.K. I was told that it could be 6-8 weeks, which is absolutely appalling. I think that's an intolerable amount of time to repair a brand new, quite expensive computer.

  • How can I tell if my macbook pro has been restored to factory settings?

    I just bought I brand new macbook pro (15,4 inch) from an official apple store... but I'm thinking that it may be used (it was a bit dirty when I opened it, but it has no scratches).
    I tried with coconut battery, but it went ok, the battery is new. However they might have changed it.
    Is there a way to know if the mac was restored to factory settings?
    ... if not, is there any other way to know if is a used laptop?
    Thanks,

    cycle count says 1... wich correspond to the initial battery discharge I just did. That's why I think they may have changed the battery.
    Serial number is C02FHFG0DF8V... how can you tell if this correspond to a refurbished unit?
    It has all the "official" envelops of a brand new mac... the thing is that I found small dust specks all over the interior of the box and in the accesories (not on the notebook itself).
    According to coconut "Age of your Mac" is 11 weeks.
    That's why I thought the only way I could knew for sure if they used it before (maybe for showcasing at the store) was finding out if it was restored to factory settings. (Also I bought it in an official apple store).

  • How can you tell where your Mac Pro was assembled?

    I heard mention in another thread that some MP's were made in China while some were assembled in CA. Where do you find this information?

    I think this might be what you're looking for:

    I ran it on my Mac Pro and it told me unknown, though it told me my MacBook Pro was made in China.

  • How can I tell if my MacBook Pro has a Retina display?

    I am happy to say, that I am the PROUD OWNER of a 15" MacBook Pro and I don't know if the one that I have has a Retina display built into it.
    I was looking on the forums, to see if I might be able to get away with installing a copy of Windows 7 Pro (32-bit) via USB and I noticed that one of the forums said that you could, if you had a MacBook Pro that has a Retina display built into it.
    I would very my like to know if there's a way to find out or if there's a website that I can check out that would be able to guide me in the right direction.
    PLEASE HELP...IF I CAN DO IT, IT WOULD SAVE ME A LOT OF MONEY FROM HAVING TO BUY A NEW COPY AND I CAN STILL GET THE DRIVERS FROM THE BOOTCAMP TO PULL IT OFF.

    as per bootcamp:

    Yes, your USB will be recognized afterward.

  • How do you know when your MacBook is infected?

    Hey All. Well my question is how do you know when your MacBook is infected with a virus? I came off windows and i have norton antivirus so i have something to tell me there. But on the Mac OS you rarely get viruses and i dont have a anitvirus program, so how do you know when you have one? And what does it do?
    Thanks!

    Since no ones got one that I know of it is hard to say. I figure that when the day comes that someone writes a Mac virus you will know real quick what happens. If your concerned you could use ClamXav. I use it if I download something for my wife's PC but have never found anything yet.

  • How do you iMessage from the MacBook Pro

    How do you iMessage from the MacBook Pro?

    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 do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?

    How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?  I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen. 

    Hi there rainyri!
    The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

  • I bought my macbook pro in march 2007.  I am currently running osx 10.6.8, but want to upgrade to lion or mtn lion.  Apple website says i need a mid 2007 or later macbook pro, how do I tell if my Macbook pro will support this upgrade?

    I bought my macbook pro in march 2007.  I am currently running osx 10.6.8, but want to upgrade to lion or mtn lion.  Apple website says i need a mid 2007 or later macbook pro, how do I tell if my Macbook pro will support this upgrade?

    The Mid-2007 model didn't come out until June 2007, so you must have bought an earlier model. It won't run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x), but it might run Lion (10.7.x) if you can get hold of a copy, depending on which earlier model it is.
    Lion requires at least a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The first MacBook Pros came out in January 2006, but they had "Core Duo" processors (no "2"). The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros came out in October 2006. You could have bought either in March 2007.

  • How do you tell if your a victim of the recent java hack and what to do

    so watching the news, how do you tell if your mac was affected, and is there anything you can do to fix it if you are in fact "hacked" thx

    Other than updating  Java, there is no perfect way to detect an attack.
    You may not have Java installed after all. You can check it.
    Finder > Application > Utilities > Java Preferences
    Click "Java Preferences".
    If a pop-up opens up offering to "Install", Mac does not have Java installed.
    Click "Not Now" button and close the Application folder.
    Safari > Preferences > Security > Web content:
    If the box next to "Enable Java" is checked, uncheck it.
    Best.
