Severe Malware In Maya 2018

[Anonymous]

I’m running the student version of maya 2018 on my MacBook Pro version 11.0.1. Recently I’ve discovered that some malware has infected my maya program and my program files. It’s a very persistent type of malware that has been risking my online security and I need to get rid of it urgently. There’s an auto desk app that claims it can remove it, however when I downloaded it the program was only a long script of code and did not remove anything. This is the Autodesk article that details the exact malware and the troubles it brings: https://www.autodesk.com/trust/security-advisories/adsk-sa-2020-0003

Sounds like the security tool didn't download correctly.

I would suggest trying again, making sure that you have 1) accepted cookies and 2) have chosen the right version for your operating system.
