Mysterious Mac Malware Has Infected Victims for Years

Does anyone know of a good way to check whether my Mac is infected with this (or any other) malware programs? I rarely, if ever, download unknown programs, and my OS is always up-to-date, but still...

Would appreciate for any pointers.

Install MalwareBytes — https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Is this bad advice? Wondering why it's getting voted down. Malwarebytes discovered the issue after all; they're not disreputable.

If abakker's comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14840063 is the same issue, then it sounds like you just need to look for `~/.client` and `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.client.client.plist`.
