![]() ![]() Or contact the anti-malware app vendor and request their support.įirst, there is no reason to ever install or run any 3rd party "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus, VPN or security apps on your Mac. MacOS is preventing you from blowing away a system-critical and heavily-protected file, too. It would appear the add-on anti-malware app is erroneously detecting malware. Remove the anti-malware app (possibly Avast?) and revert to the built-in anti-malware tooling. It seems the latest OS doesn't allow you to erase the SSD. Just upgraded to the latest version of macOS Ventura and found that I can't completely erase the SSD as this seems to be the only solution to removing the infected file. I erased all content and settings but the antivirus program detected it again. It's a protected file and can't be quarantined by the antivirus software, nor can I delete it even by unlocking the file through the Information window or turning off FileVault. ![]() I ran my antivirus program and it detected the file dyld_shared_cache_arm64e and identified it as an infected file with the threat name: ELF:MiraiDownloader-O. The people who are supposed to protect you from these "zero-day" threats literally have no clue how the operating system works - no clue whatsoever. Things like this show the charade for what it is. People in the "security" industry work overtime to tell a story about Apple incompetence and risk. The idea that 3rd party antivirus apps are scanning these read-only Apple volumes is just hilarious. Those are files on Apple's cryptographically signed, read-only boot partition. Just look at the words "Cryptexes" in the path. It is most definitely, absolutely certainly, a false positive. but one can never be too safe these days. Couldn't find anything on ELF:MiraiDownloader-O. I searched for ELF_MIRAI and a similar virus, ELF_MIRAI.E was reported several years ago. For Google Chrome it’s the ChromeCacheView.The file is located in two places: /System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/System/Library/dyld, and also in /System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/Incoming/OS/System/Library/dyld One of the best options is to use one of the web browser tools by Nirsoft. You can either click on every file to open it or decode the cached files using special software or a browser extension. Most of the names are random and there’s no way to tell the format of the file or where it came from. ![]() The difficulty here is that you won’t know exactly what you’re looking at. ![]() Inside the Cache folder you’ll find files with various extensions and random file names. Simply search for your browser’s name after following the \AppData\Local path, like \AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\, or \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\. Then copy and paste the following into the command line: \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache.īecause all internet browsers are installed on system C drive by default, you can easily see cached pages and files from any browser by following a similar path. You can also find Chrome’s cache folder using the Run command.Īccess the Run command through the Start menu or using the shortcut Windows key R. For example, for Google Chrome it looks like this: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache. On Windows, the path to locate the browser cache is a little different. For Safari’s cache, use a different shortcut: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers//Data/Library/Caches/. ![]()
