Was stupid, downloaded crappy software (hotspotshield) uninstalled it, but now my computer is running very slowly. Will this help? Can I use it on my MAC?

Hello WayUpNorth,


Was stupid, downloaded crappy software (hotspotshield) uninstalled it, but now my computer is running very slowly. Will this help? Can I use it on my MAC?

Sorry but Mac OS/Mac OS X is not supported. Have you updated your MAC recently, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5244

More malware for the Mac OS X platform has been discovered, hot on the heels of the revelation that some 600,000 Macs had been infected in the Flashback attack.http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-edition.aspx

Hope that helps, you might want to check out the Apple forums. :)
