The only other time that MRT will run normally is soon after starting your Mac up. When these updates are installed, they should run automatically soon afterwards, but some users have reported that hasn’t worked. Again, that’s easiest using SilentKnight or LockRattler. If that’s anything earlier than 1.47, then you’ll need to check for the update and install it. You can do the latter by selecting the app at /System/Library/CoreServices/MRT.app in the Finder and reading its version number. The only reliable way to check that the MRT installed on your Mac is 1.47 is to use my free SilentKnight, LockRattler, or to inspect the version yourself. It is perfectly possible for one of the installations to have failed to complete the update. However, that isn’t reliable: the listing there only states what has been downloaded and ‘installed’. To confirm that is the case, Apple recommends that you consult the list of Installations in System Information. The primary tool to remove these web servers is MRT, and by now your Mac should have been updated to version 1.47. The product vendors should over this time have updated their software, so now is a good time to check that your Mac is clean.
Because that was a serious vulnerability, Apple pushed an update to its malware removal tool MRT to remove the old Zoom web server.Ī couple of days ago, Apple pushed a third update to MRT which removed all similar hidden web servers which had been installed by other related products. A week ago, Mac users were alerted to a sinister danger: if you had previously installed certain conferencing software, in particular that for Zoom, then even though you may have removed that, it probably left behind a hidden web server which could have been exploited remotely.
