Tricky Mac Virus

I have no idea how this happened but I have some insanely hard to find worm on my mac. I was trying to wipe an old external HHD I had to back up a Time Machine and it must have had some malware, did not realize Mac's could get a virus like this from USB plug-ins (or at least very rare)

The software is called Easy Suite and appears as a CD even though it was a hard drive passing the virus along. I did not realize it was a virus until directly connecting two of my Macbook pros and saw the that instead of displaying my hard drive on the computer, this CD drive is displayed as the only usable disk from the other device.

It becomes even weirder when you inspect the drive it has a .inf and .exe (both windows specific?) I have no idea how it is spreading or where it could be hiding. I have checked ~/Library/Cache as well as /library/cache. Additionally, ran malwarebytes and still seeing the same issues when connecting two devices. My user account has read & write privileges but cannot delete any of the files. Starting to concerned, any idea what directory these files are hiding in, any advice is greatly appreciated

Solution 1:

That looks more like someone else on your local subnet is sharing their CD player, which will be why you can't find it locally.

Remote CDs are listed under Locations. If nothing else shows in that section, make sure they're switched on in Finder Prefs > Sidebar

Your choices are:-

• Find whoever's sharing & ask them to switch it off
  System Prefs > Sharing
  or on Windows, Control Panel > Hardware and Sound

or…

• Ignore it
  Finder > Prefs > Sidebar
