Help Identifying Virus

Nov 28, 2014 3:22AM PST

Hey guys what does this mean when AVAST detects this virus on my laptop through my mac mail

HTML:Phishing-CO [Trj]

It stopped the threat however I think it's sending emails out with viruses through my gmail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've yet to see a virus on an apple. Almost all fail to meet the virus criteria but today folk call everything a virus. So why not check your sent folder on gmail.com (web mail) and find if there is mail being sent?

Could it be a warning that a certain mail is a phishing mail?
Did you delete it already? Or did you go the website it asked you to go to and entered your e-banking password?
