MacDefender not really a virus, but more of an intelligent design that is disguised as a real app.It "s not malicious, so data will be erased or even send emails to all your friends. Who designed this is basically trying to cheat. in the payment of money to run similar to how they can pay for a "pro" version of any application for the difference here is - there is no Pro version - and no infection , virus or anything else wrong with your Mac.

And once this is done then you will not face any problem what so ever.
