Same Application.BitCoinMiner.ZV" message keeps popping up

flyer234

Every couple of minutes I get a notification message  on my IMac (attached) telling me that the "Application.BitCoinminer.ZV" virus has been deleted (SEE ATTACHMENT).  Can anyone tell me what this means.  Why does it keep popping up every few minutes.  Can't believe i have several hundred of the same virus or that it regenerates itself every few minutes.  I've had Bitdefender installed for a long time and this just started happening.  Anybody know what is going on?

Hello,

It's possible that you bookmarked  certain websites in your browser and each time you open the browser those websites open and the notification keep appearing because the malware was trying to download itself in the cache folder each time you accessed the website that was pushing the malware.  

Your Mac is safe and it was not affected by malware.

However,  in order to provide you specific information, we recommend you to send us a BdProfiler log at bitsy@bitdefender.com.
