Removing Adware from my Macbook Air / Etrecheck Report

Tried to remove adware on my Mac book after looking at the Etrecheck Report. Much better, but still have some issues when using the internet. Largely, there seems to be a backend process that kills connection to the site and internet. Requires several tries before connecting.


Unsure what other files I should be deleting.


Any help is appreciated. Report attached.


Thanks!

You have adware installed. 


Run EtreCheck again.


In the Sidebar, click the Security button.


 Locate  and remove entries under  Adware and Unsigned files.


 Click the “Remove” button.


Try downloading this program which was written by Thomas R, a long time poster. The program will search for malware/adware. The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After running the scans, restart the computer.
