Search pulse virus

How do I get rid of it? I downloaded Malwarebytes.com, scanned, deleted and restarted. It's still there.

now it’s fixed. The virus puts “profiles” in the system preferences and you have to delete them. They aren’t usually there, it was located next to the startup disk icon. I called support, they had me go into safe mode and then do it. Yay!

It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test.
