This keeps coming up on my computer and it doesn't give me the option to put it in the bin. It just says 'Show in Finder' or 'OK' and every time i click either it doesnt do anything. How do i get rid of it??
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
I have fix following the steps:
1) Type /Library/LaunchDaemons in the Go to Folder search field
2) Delete com.InitialSkilld.plist and com.InitialSkilld.system.plist
3) Empty bin
4) Restart your computer

My iMac has this problem AND will not go online. Not by ethernet, not by wi-fi, not by hotspot to my phone. All other devices in the house are working fine. I have restarted my modem and wi-fi router. Is this connected to InitialSkilld?
I also deleted the app in the Library, but it didn't help. I can't go online to download virus software, because the computer won't go online. Help!
Having the same issue. I was able to get my kid's computer back online by going into System Preferences - Network - Advanced - Proxies. I disabled the proxy I found there and we're back on. Still can't get rid of the annoying InitialSkilld message - I've been through all the steps mentioned above and elsewhere, and it still keeps coming back. Will try Etrecheck later. Good luck!
You need to go to the root library apart from the regular library
the video that helped me a lot was this and do check in if the malware has created a profile in the system preference
Use Etrecheck to identify its location:
On my macbookpro 13 the same situation
I tried this but after searching /Library/LaunchDaemons nothing showed up
on my MacBook Air 11
LauchDemons doesn’t show up for me
:(
I have same problem with my macbook pro 2019. I already try to /Library/LaunchDaemons but didn’t see anything. I hope this thing solved fast because it’s annoying.
`I managed to do this but it still came up when I restarted the computer (MacBook Air M1) and the files are no longer in the Launch Daemon folder
use the free scan on this app, it will show you what to remove and how to remove it.
I tried, I removed it, and it reinstalled itself
That sounds like you didn't remove all its components, try running Malwarebytes and Avast.
If you still have trouble, contact me on my profile, I do offer paid virus removals on Macs.
"InitialSkilld" will damage your computer.
