Doc bar is getting spammed with browser history

After upgrading to the latest OS (Big Sur), my doc bar is filled with web page history



Is there a way to remove browser history from the doc bar?


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.0

Seems like Malware:


Trojan (Looping Item):

That would seem to me to be a looping item - a trojan of sorts that keeps repeating itself. So, you may have downloaded or installed software that is not intend for use on your Mac.


So...


First, clear your Temporary Internet Files - Apple Communities


Then, Scan your Mac for Malware: 

Use MalwareBytes for Mac --- This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstall MalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.

Downloads:

  1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
  2. Malwarebytes Uninstaller
