What is "SkilledObjectd" ?

Hi, this pop-up showed up on my computer and it just says "SkilledObjectd" will damage your computer. I have deleted anything that had that name from my computer at least I think so. But it will not go away, does anyone know what this is/how to get rid of it because I know I shouldn't download another application for cleaning viruses (I heard they were unhelpful/scams). It also only has two options like ok or show in finder and whenever you click either of them it pops back up. I have no clue how to get rid of it at this point.


Thank you for your time.

I fixed the problem:

Download the free version of Malewarebytes: www.malwarebytes.com

Start the scanner and click on the button to put the files found in Quarantine.

Restart the MAC and then go to choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Network.

Click Advanced, then click Proxies and deselect all suggested options.


Now the problem should be solved.

Hi! I hade this window popping up, updated to Bid Sur 11.2.2 nothing changed. Hence i traced the files, and removed them by the terminal instead. Get Root access, and then located the files at /var/root/Application Support/.SkilledObject.dp/SkilledObjectd. Removed that, and the following files in /Library/LaunchDeamons/com.SkilledObjectd.plist. Now the pop-up window is gone!
