Update

It's now 9:20 pm est.

baileydoesntbark has been released from captivity! (...yay...)

rejinlee is still under negotiations...

What I've done so far:

1) Followed all of these instructions:

a. Manually removed 2009 Antivirus

b. Followed Stopbadware Tips

c. Followed UglyPufferFish Tips

i. Downloaded ClamXav

and scanned every single thing in this computer, including my website folders.

ii. Downloaded LittleSnitch

(to be completely honest with you, i have a very blurred idea of what it does because i'm computer illiterate. as long as it says it helps. i'm down.)

2) Created a master password and turned on the FileVault I had NO idea existed.

3) Changed all my passwords.

Mind you, I probably deleted files I shouldn't have but whatever came up in my search when I typed in the bunch of letters/numbers/symbols these websites list to delete, I TRASHED FOREVER.

What I've NOT done so far:

1) Go to the post office to ship orders. sorry guys.... one day delay :(

2) Work on new designs.

3) Be productive.

I recommend everybody who owns a MAC to run a virus scan once in a while (since we never do, relying on the fact that MACs are safe).

I've been hacked twice and this proves to me that either:

1) I have amnesia and clicked on obvious virus infected links, banners, websites and forgot about it.

or

2) ... I don't know, I forgot!

goodnight

p.s. if you are aware of any help for mac users to prevent this from happening, please let us know!

(please note: i DO NOT claim that the information i'm giving out is the solution and/or prevention. PLEASE research. i'm only sharing my experience.)
