Emix 303

[Marcelene Vasconez]

Iam working on my mother-in-laws mac air and have found that nearly half her HDD is taken up by .emix files. All files are the same size and names of files vary by one number. What are these files and are they needed. I have never run into this issue with my Macs but then again I would never buy a 64GB HDD (Insert feeble attempt by inl-aws to be Apple savy).

I have an older Mac operating on OS 10.5.8. I suspected I had a problem with viruses attacking my Mail so I uploaded a copy of ClamXav [an older version for 10.8] and ran a scan a few minutes ago. It gave me a slew of infected files (a total of 22) with a .emix extension. The virus scanner identified them as Email-Trojan, or Trojan.Zbot, Trojan.Agent, or HTML.Phishing Bank, or Trojan.Dropper, or Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain.

Since none of them contain the letters "OSX" they can't harm your system, but best to get rid of the ones that you are certain you don't need. But as was said earlier, don't use ClamXav or the Finder to get rid of them as that will corrupt your mailbox index and could cause you issues with the Mail app going forward.

The ones labeled "Heuristics" means that they are from a financial institution and "SpoofedDomain" means it contains hyperlink(s) that are not known to be associated with that organization and may be a phishing attempt which is attempting to obtain privacy information (e.g. UserID and Password credentials). It has not been positively identified as such, just that something about the format of one or more links is suspicious. You can see exactly where a link will take you by hovering the cursor over the underlined words or image in the e-mail. Don't click the link unless you are certain that it will take you to a legitimate site. There is a significant probability that these are legitimate e-mail messages from a financial institution that you need, so trashing them could very well be a mistake. The only way to know is to read them. There is also a distinct possibility that you or your e-mail system have already decided that they are spam/junk/phishing and they came from your Spam/Junk/Deleted Items/Trash folders, so you should always check to make certain they are not needed and then delete them before running an e-mail scan.

Thanks MadMacs0. You are right, it was emlx files. I'm getting old. I had moved all these files previously into separate mailboxes, the majority of them into a mailbox I titled SPAM, so I knew they were bad emails. Anyways I deleted them. But I suspect that I have not found the root cause. Over the past month, I have been getting a lot of emails from MAIL DELIVERY SYSTEMS recently. They are titled MAIL DELIVERY FAILURE. They are multipath messages with a return path to my email address. Most of them originated from yahoo.com or yahoo.co.uk accounts. Since I started receiving these, I have resorted to turning on mail for only a few minutes at a time and then closing Mail down. The interesting thing is that these messages appear to be generated only when I am connected to my mail system. Which leads me to think somehow my computer may be infected.

This has been going on for about a year or so, but has continued to get worse, so it must somehow be working. I suspect that all of us get them periodically. They usually contain an attachment posing as a receipt or claim form to fill out, but are actually Windows executables.

None of the currently known "SpamBots" run in OS X, so I wouldn't be too concerned about that. If your account is involved at all, those would be coming from your e-mail provider's server (Yahoo?). There is often evidence in your Send folder of it being used that way, but the smart gangs empty those out of the Send Folder when they are finished to cover their tracks. If you suspect this is that case you obviously need to change your password to something not easily guessed and make certain that you don't have a preference set to allow another user backdoor access to the account. This feature is sometimes provided to allow someone's Secretary to manage the boss' e-mail.

I don't think there is such a thing as a .emlx virus. You may be getting confused with a virus attachment received via an email. Emails in Apple's Mail program are stored as .eml or .emlx files. It is the attachment rather than the email file that is really the virus.

In any case just receiving an email with an attachment does not mean your computer is infected. Everyone will receive emails like this i.e. with infected attachments. It is only if you open the attachment and allow it to do its nasty business that you might get infected. Even then the overwhelming majority of these infected attachments only affect Windows and not Mac. The majority of the rest are Word or Excel macro type viruses which might cause a problem on the Mac if your using Office 2011. If your using Office 2016 then there is less than it will cause a problem on the Mac because Microsoft failed to include full macro support in Office 2016 for Mac.

the file is almost assuridly innocuous in the Mac, but if you want an AV to destroy because it has the potential to harm your Windows 7 partition if you booted to your Windows 7 partition and then executed the payload in Windows 7 you should boot to Windows 7 and run your Windows Anti Virus scan after updating your definitions.

Because I have a 1 tb internal HD using on 420 gb and one morning I turned on the IMac and it said my HD was full. And some other blogs suggested looking in mail and messages on the Finder for files with a number.emix. I found 10's of thousands of them from the 4 to 6 digits followed by .emix
