Hello. This warning keeps appearing on my laptop screen. I have followed various instructions to remove StandardBoost. This warning will not go away though! I hit OK but the message appears again after another 10 seconds. If I hit Show in finder nothing happens. How can I force the message to go away? I am using macOS Big Sur 11.2.1. Many thanks for any advice.

Malware download possible bundled within another recent download form a Third Party Site.
Malwarebytes or Etrecheck are both free and Trusted to remove it
Hi there. I used the Malwarebytes. I ran it for a second time and restarted and so far it seems to be ok. Many thanks for your help.
Which of the two softwares was used to remove the Malware? You would know for certain if either found the malware as it would present the Option to remove it. If it did detect and did offer to remove and you expressly chose Remove - it is done. Just Restart the computer and message should disappear
I downloaded Malwarebytes.com (used free trial) and it quantined the virus. Not sure for how long...but that application worked for me
Hi there. Yes I think I have removed it. It is the warning message though that will not go away.
Very Welcome and Thank you too ! Just be careful from where one gets / downloads come from in the future.
