Compromised MacBook

My MacBook Pro continues to be compromised after system restores. It could be paranoia but it appears like somehow I'm getting thrown into a virtualized environment somehow. I'll start noticing user folders that have the blue arrow drawn on them indicating alias folders. I'll also notice a ton of certificates in my keychain that I never created. I have rapid7 and jamf installed and their reps are saying they have noticed nothing out of the ordinary. This is really concerning to me because I found a folder deep into my files that contained about 8gb+ of company financials that I never copied onto my hd. Netstat shows me connected to myself on different ports, not sure if that is normal. I'll attach my last minute or two of logs in a random place. My last restore, I just made a user account with the most basic privileges to use. This account has no install permissions or anything like that and I still feel compromised. I will say that there is plenty of opportunity for people to get physical access to my device.

First, Get rid of "Bitdefender Virus Scanner" right now. Those things are essentially fear-profiting software.

Second, remove the Launch Daemon "com.rapid7..."


To properly remove these things, get an app called "App Cleaner & Installer" (by Nektony). This app will find anything that is installed as well as remaining bits and pieces of old installations (reinstalling your system does not remove these things). The app also installs a monitor that detects when you delete an app. Nice, but a bit overkill. After using the app, delete it.
