I need to disable or delete Yahoo Polarity, which attached itself to my computer. Any tips, besides those who want me to pay for advice?
Use the free Malwarebytes download. Malwarebytes has an excellent reputation here. https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/
MalwareBytes is often recommended here. Why did you ask if you don't trust the responders or their recommendations?
I can't trust you or Malwarebytes. I'm being asked to allow too many questionable items. Thanks anyway. And what's with a 14 day "free trial". I asked specifically for a FREE way to disable or delete.
Just to note, *any* program will need to access your file system in order to find Yahoo Polarity to remove it. It won't be able to find and remove it without being able to search through your computer to find it.
Bob,
I was being asked for too many permissions to access my data. I don't trust any site now that asks me to pay for software after a 2 week trial.
You could use the free version. And how could any app remove the malware without having access to your drive?
I see. I just have a hard time trusting anything these days. Thanks. I'll try again.
A fourteen day free trial is FREE , just as you requested. For fourteen days you get "full" access to everything it has to offer, after that you get bumped down to "basic", more limited service. If you want to continue to have "full" access you could pay, if not "basic". Though since you only want to remove one thing once you could do as Fox suggested, download/install it, use it to remove Yahoo Polarity, then uninstall it. One, two, three - simple.
On the note of "free" though, most "free" things are free for a reason - its cheap and designed to make you want or need the paid version. Malwarebytes, on the other hand, does the job even if it's free. The paid version simply supports "Real Time Protection", like other antivirus may.
