👉 Mac:infection, also known as Macros Virus or Macro Virus, is a type of malicious software (malware) that infects macOS systems by embedding harmful code within legitimate macros used in applications like Excel, QuickTime, and other Office tools. When a user enables macros to automate tasks, these macros can inadvertently execute malicious scripts, leading to various forms of infection. These may include stealing sensitive data, installing additional malware, or compromising system security. Mac:infections often spread through infected documents, email attachments, or websites that exploit vulnerabilities in macOS. Once installed, the virus can persist in the system, making it difficult to remove without specialized tools and potentially requiring a full system reset or professional intervention.
