These particular mac viruses can be distributed via fake Flash Player update downloads and promotional advertisements, so you should avoid any suspicious content like this. WheelInstant mac virus can be installed behind your back and cause all these issues with the performance.

Any legitimate products and software developers' messages that appear out of nowhere should indicate fake relations and shouldn't encourage you to allow these programs installed on the machine.
