I pirated a game which contained a malware of some sort in it.
It got discovered after the AV signatures updated a day after I installed it.
Don't remember what type of malware it was.
Could my mac be permafucked even if I've reformated and updated the OS from Yosemite to El Capitan?

cuck
I thought you Apple consumers were so rich, why didn't you buy the game?
>>52072508
you are a fucking newbie
you either keep your useless AV and browse facebook
or keep pirating and get rid of the useless AV
>>52072508
no. apps run sandboxed anyways so it wouldn't have been able to get into anything important
>>52072845
aight, thanks
>>52072845
sure about that?
Mackeeper? Remove that. Check your startup items. Check safari settings. Run MBAM for mac
install gentoo
>>52072508
Troll harder faggot. Macs don't have viruses.
>>52072845
That's ios, you dummie.
>>52072845
Only apps from the app store are sandboxed
>>52073931
no. everything runs sandboxed. you have to EXPLICITLY give shit admin permission, and it will do that each time it tries to modify system files or some shit if it's doing something sneaky
>>52072508
Just get a Mac, Macs don't have viruses.
Oh wait...
>>52074167
the only people who insist that are autistic windrones. anything can get a virus, even a fucking smart thermostat. doesn't change the fact that OSX with it's Unix underpining is several orders of magnitude more secure than the bloated spagetti fest which is windows
>>52072508
just format the damn thing
>>52074180
He didn't say Macs can't get viruses, he said Macs don't get viruses.
Which is true. The shit OP is describing was installed manually by himself, because he's an idiot.

>all at once
get out of /g
>>52072508
what virus?
It's unlikely it would survive a reformat, look up rootless etc as to why
>>52072508
>unironically using an AV on OS X
Wew lad
>>52073905
that's OSX, you dummy.
>>52072508
did you erase the disk between the upgrade from Yosemite to El Capitan?
El capitan has system integrity protection
System Integrity Protection is a security technology built in to OS X El Capitan that helps prevent potentially
malicious software from modifying protected files and folders on your Mac.
In OS X, the “root” user account previously had no permission restrictions and could access any system folder or
application on your Mac. Software gained root-level access when you entered your administrator name and
password to install it and could then modify or overwrite any system file or application.
System Integrity Protection uses sandboxing technology to restrict the root account and limit actions that it can
perform on protected parts of OS X.
Paths and applications protected by System Integrity Protection include:
• /System
• /usr
• /bin
• /sbin
• Apps that are preinstalled with OS X
Paths and applications that third-party apps and installers can write to include:
• /Applications
• /Library
• /usr/local

>>52074360
Protected parts of OS X can be modified only by processes that are signed by Apple and have special entitlements
to write to system files, like Apple software updates and Apple installers.
Apps that you download from the Mac App Store already work with System Integrity Protection. Other third-party
software that conflicts with System Integrity Protection might be set aside when you upgrade to OS X El Capitan.
System Integrity Protection also helps prevent software from changing your startup volume. To start up your Mac
from a different volume, you can use the Startup Disk pane in System Preferences or hold down the Option key
while you restart, and select a volume from the list.
basically, if you didn't erase the disk before you installed El Cap, then you should have, because all of that shit is still there. El Cap moves everything that used to be in a proteced folder to a quarantined folder, hence the "set aside" language, but if it's in your user preferences (the analogue to AppData/Roaming in windows) then it's still there

i-is this true?
I pirated some stuff and I was wondering after scanning if I can be 100% sure I'm not infected.

Also you are fucking stupid, if you're going to pirate stuff at least don't use your main OS you dumb whore, bootcamp a pirated windows and mess freely with it.
