Hey,
Sorry that's it's been so long. So, my MacBookPro2015 died 4 times this month, in the same apple certified shop 3 times, and I mailed my mac to apple 1 time. IO board replaced 3 times, power adapter replaced 5 times this month. After the first visit to this shop is when ReadyNAS Time Machine backup found this virus.
I JUST got my mac back again with a new IO board, Adapter board replacement, Audio something replacement. I just hope my mac will wake up in the morning.
Last week the Apple Tech claims the IO board was killing my adapter & Laptop. Then the new IO board died again, tech claiming it wasn't seated properly.
Then this computer shop replaced it and prays the problems are over. ( GOSH.. I wish I had bought an HP laptop)
BUT... Oddly .. I got home, Opened Chrome & Chrome gave me a warning that ~Something~ was present on my system, for me to fix it before restarting Chrome..
--- SO.. I formated my Mac, Reinstalled, Updated, added back stuff.. and I deleted the ReadyNAS Timemachine backup.. and NOW doing a New Fresh TM backup.
When I get home from work tomorrow, Saturday, June 24th.. I'll see if ReadyNAS finds anything in it's backup.
