When viewing my emails - my name and some other word groups in email address randomly quickly vibrated slightly on my screen when I clicked on the mail icon in my taskbar to view it.
Another question: How do I figure out if I have a "virus" - other than the obvious signs?
(I'm not that knowledgeable in computer technology.)
Mac mini
When viewing my emails...
What mail client are you using? Apple Mail? Outlook? Something else? Are you using a web page Like Google Mail to check your email? Knowing that may help us narrow down the issue if it only happens when you are reading email.
Thanks!
I don't know what that might have been but it's not a virus. There are no viruses that affect macOS so just forget that idea.
If the misbehavior persists or is repeatable, please determine if the same problems occur in "Safe Mode": Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support.
Apple calls the row of icons at the edge of a Mac's screen the Dock: Use the Dock on Mac - Apple Support. For more Mac terminology, read What’s it called on my Mac? - Apple Support.
But viruses are a holdover from Windows, and they have no obvious signs. If you go in search of a cure for a macOS "virus" you will quickly find yourself lost in a sea of advertisements for garbage products and scams that should never be installed on a Mac. That's the real threat.
Why do I see words moving on my MAC computer?
