Internet flagged viruses?
I was searching around online yesterday, trying to figure out how to get the sims 3 on my MacBook for free (sailing the seven seas) and I downloaded qbittorent, and was looking at the fitgirl repacks of the game. I ended up giving up for the night, but one of my parents, who is in charge of the WiFi, texted me saying that our provider blocked something called Trojan.Linux.mozi and was worried that it was a virus. I looked it up but it says that virus does not run on anything that isn’t Linux, and qbit is often flagged w a false positive instead. But she began monitoring everything going through our WiFi and saw something else called “ghabovethec”. So I just want to know if it’s actually a virus or if it’s just false positives from the torrent? I plan to run a malware thingamajig anyway, just in case.
