It is taking over certain functions of my computer as I use google searches etc etc.. How do I remove this virus completely from my computer...app and all files? I thought i had successfully removed it, but it seems to come right back.. It looks like a serious virus because it has an extension that allows it to capture all key strokes....from all web sites that are opened....

If you suspect you have installed adware/malware:

>System Preferences>Profiles. found next to Accessibility (click into it and then remove all the suspicious things from the list.) May or may not be present if no profiles found.

or

Try running this trusted utility https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

also Verify you are not using SOCKS proxy:

>System Preferences>Networks>Advanced>Proxy uncheck the box

Adware/malware launch daemons can set SOCKS proxies without user participation.

(SOCKS is an Internet protocol that exchanges network packets between a client and server through a proxy server.)
