Hacking iMAC's

06-08-2009, 01:45 AM

I know this has nothing to do with networking, but I didn't know where to post this.

I just recent bought an iMAC, I love it.

but I wanted to know what are some tips I could know that will tell me if my iMAC has been hacked or not?

sound kinda stupid I know since iMAC's are nothing like PC, but I just have to ask.

P.S: not very bright when it come to computers.

insanelymac.com is probably a better place to ask that question, but you might want to be more specific as to what your concerns are

"hack" can mean a LOT of things

I agree with "Above" - this is the forum for this question (although I also use an iMac). I find the following forum very helpful: http://forums.macosxhints.com/

However, like "Above", I think your question is too broad and you'll have to be more specific about your thoughts. For example, have you bought a used machine and you're wondering about its status? If that's the case, I suggest you format the drive and reload the operating system from the original Apple CDs. Anyway, good luck - who knows, I might even answer your question on macosxhints.com !
