Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I was working on my computer when all of a sudden a window opens indicating something was installed and I was to click ok. However, the cursor was locked up and I had to shut down my computer. There was also something about a Safari extension called MixBuilder. When I restarted the computer, I found an extension in Safari and an application installed called MixBuilder. I deleted both. Has anyone else run into this?
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14
Original poster here. It has been over 2 weeks since my incident with mixbuilder, and I thought that I would report that simply trashing the application and uninstalling the safari extension seems to have been sufficient in removing this intruder from my computer. (The other stuff I did at the suggestion of repliers was after the fact.) There have been no further incidents. I have no idea where it came from (I try to be very sensible about what websites I visit and what emails I open, and sometimes use "private windows" in Safari, but otherwise make no extraordinary efforts to guard against intruders beyond the regularly recommended Apple routines). It would be nice to know how it got on my computer, just to satisfy my curiosity. And it has certainly been an experience being involved in the discovery of a new malware/intruder/whatever-it-is.
As far as I can remember, I opened no strange emails or visited any questionable websites at or near the time that this incident occurred.
I can't upload to malware bytes forum since 1. I don't have malwarebytes on my computer and 2. I'm not a member of the forum. It (the MixBuilder program) is still in the trash.
I have a virus that keep popping up macOS.mix builder.1.r
mixbuilder application and safari extension???
