coordinatorplus app

For the last couple of days a new icon has appeared in my browser and locked my computer temporarily which seems to be called Coordinator Plus (see image of icon on my dock below)


It seems to be an extension which changes the search engine I use from google to yahoo, but i do not know if it is doing anything more sinister. I thought that I had removed all traces of it yesterday by deleting it as both an extension and the package (by putting in trash and emptying it. But at about the same time as it appeared yesterday it came back again today. Does anyone know what this is, and how to get rid of it?

I had the very same thing happen to me with coordinatorplus app 2 days in a row now. Then this anysearch.com browser takes over my chrome browser. I had the anysearch.com recurring trouble a year ago and finally got rid of it (I thought). I work with clients overseas on my computer and if it interrupts when I'm on with a client this may jeopardize my job. Can anyone advise???

I had the same problem. I usually run Webroot SecureAnywhere, and it would find some files, but it would come back. I then downloaded Avast which found more but it also came back. Now it's gone after running Webroot, Avast and Malwarebytes which was recommended here. I've restarted my mac and Safari has not been hijacked so far. Hope this helps.

I had an issue with outgoing email from Mail/icloud account at the same time that I encountered CoordinatorPlus. After deleting the files that MalwareBytes found and deleting the CoordinatorPlus app and extension, I solicited help from my ISP (Charter) who directed me to Apple. After 45 minutes with Apple Support trying lots of things, it was discovered that there was something wrong with my Google mail account. I was instructed to delete the Google Mail account and then add it back.

Now my outgoing iCloud Mail is working again. I suspect that the adware corrupted the Google Mail account.
