I just installed version 6.1.12.0 of ESET Pro on my brand new iMac 5K this afternoon, after creating a backup on a new Seagate Backup Plus Drive with Time Machine a few hours earlier. (It took about 10 minutes.)
ESET Pro found one Trojan email on the computer scan, set to recommended settings, so it automatically "fixed" it. I then decided to scan the backup, thinking it would also be there. After the entire afternoon, ESET Pro is only 3/4 done on the scan and it has found over 40Trojans in the SPAM Folder of my Gmail!!!
Q. Why would it find only 1 on the iMac and 40 on the backup from the iMac?
Q. It has quarantined them already. Will this affect a future backup?
Q. How do I stop email spam boxes from being backed up?
Q. Should I do a deeper scan of the iMac after this?
Q. Are there any settings that you would recommend? Advice about this important first set up?
Still scanning after 24 hours ?
