BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg

BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg is an installation file for MAC Defender and other rogue anti-virus programs that target Mac OS computers. Trojans related to MAC Defender or other rogue programs may offer a BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg as part of a download package that supposedly fixes various computer threats. Unfortunately, rogue programs that are installed by BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg look the part of real anti-virus software, but they have no true anti-virus detection or removal functions. If you install these rogue threats by mistake you may experience browser hijacks that redirect you to dangerous or pornographic websites, as well as problems accessing different applications. BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg-related threats should be removed by appropriately sophisticated anti-malware programs.

Some of the Fake Alerts That BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg is Responsible For

BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg may install an older rogue threat variant like MAC Defender, or it may install a newer version like Mac Protector or Mac Security. Although these rogue programs bear different names, they all have the same code under the hood that allows them to attack your computer's security and web browsing capabilities.

The above rogue programs will pretend to scan your system and warn you about system threats, but these functions are empty pretenses that only alert you about nonexistent problems. One of the most visible signs of a BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg infection is the appearance of many different pop-up warnings that contain dishonest information, such as:

Virus Found
Infected file detected:
Virus: Worm
File: Software Update

Virus Found
Infected file detected:
Virus: Dialer
File: Safari

Unregistered Copy

Your system is infected. It's highly recommended to cleanup your system to protect critical information like credit card numbers, etc.

Ignore BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg's warnings; these pop-ups aren't created with the intention of helping you fix your computer. In fact, trying to delete 'infected' files will result in the deletion of files that have no infections or other problems, while registering a BestMacAntivirus2011.mpkg rogue threat can jeopardize your credit card and bank account.
