Cannot trash malware NGPlayerSetup.dmg

malware

How do I delete this pesky dmg? I never asked for it and never uploaded or downloaded it. When I try to "Empty Trash" it is much to clever and says "it is in use."

Best Answer

  • Open Terminal
  • type cd .Trash followed by Return
  • type rm NGPlayer followed by Tab
  • the name should now auto-complete
  • type Return to remove the file
  • reboot

Please be aware that this will just remove the DMG from your system, it will not cleanout any malware which might already have gotten installed.
