Please walk me through the process to check for this virus.

I am not a regular Mac user until recent when I retired and had to turn in my work (Windows) laptop.

Now using wife’s Mac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4).

This computer freezes and crashes all the time.

Took to Mac store and they said looks fine and when I asked about viruses they said they don’t check for viruses because Macs don’t get viruses.

So, please walk me through click-by-click so I can check because my computer sounds like it has the problem described.

Thanks.

The few times my Mac has frozen, is when it’s running a Flash video.

Start by looking for the two folders mentioned in the article. (The first one should be ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions/appleHID/, equivalent to /Users/<you>/Library/ScriptingAdditions/appleHID/.)

If you don't find either, and you probably won't, then the cause of the freezes is something else. If you do, then google for removal instructions or set up a Genius Bar appointment.

I should add, the easiest way to check whether a folder exists is to type Cmd-Shift-G in a Finder window, then paste in the path to the supposed folder. That will either navigate to the folder or give an error message.
