Help

Warning: EPSON Official Support : Installed 3rd party FireWall ( Apple has a FireWall ), and UNINSTALLED CleanMyMac( has Anti-Virus Protection ), to "fix" a driver issue with 14.1.2, MacBook Pro M3.

Did my mother just get a TROJAN install on a Pristine Machine?

This doesn’t sound like Epson. It sounds more like a scammer. You should check the machine over to make sure that they didn’t install more than that. Such as remote access software for example.

No.

Mouse can act strange if desktop is dirty.

( Or, they took control. )
