If you get an email purporting to be from the IRS containing a ZIP file, it's a PHISHING attack containing a malicious TROJAN that can damage your Mac. DO NOT OPEN IT. It will install a file that will require you to install a bogus OS X or MacOS update that installs malware on your Mac. BEWARE! As always, this attack requires you to be industrially strength stupid by opening something you shouldn't. But this time the Mac's built in protections will not help. Apple will block it soon, but watch out in the meantime. IRS does not contact people via email! — PING!

Once I had an issue with one nasty malware. It deleted all files from my desktop. Some of them were really important. I used then one recovery tool, came across on cleverfiles site. In a few clicks all were restored. PS now I checked my Mac twice a week on malwares and viruses.
