Hi,
I've recently become aware that someone has had access to my iMac, and I ran a scan using EtreCheck to detect any possible keyloggers or other spyware. I'd greatly appreciate any guidance on the following report:
iMac 27″, macOS 11.2
Remove Flash and its plug-in.
Remove the junk VPN you've installed.
Remove the MacScan junk.
Another VPN...
The only threat found on your device is in front of the keyboard.

The VPN being used and managed to create a secure tunnel to your workplace private network.
Why would you route all your traffic through a public VPN server owned and managed by some unknown entity in a foreign country?
And uninstall all third party apps that claim to protect, clean, manage, etc.
Hello,
I personally recommend ProtonVPN and scan your computer with Malwarebytes.

What makes you think the VPN companies are not doing exactly what that they claim they are helping you avoid.
What if we scare people into thinking they need to protect their online activities and get them to route all of their traffic through our servers. Genius.
if you want a VPN because you want "security", DON'T install one. your internet speeds will take a dramatic hit with NO added security. if you want a VPN so that you can view content that's "not available in your region", i recommend Urban VPN Desktop. it's available in the app store for free. just make sure to turn it off after every time you are done using it. and a final note, using a VPN in Canada to watch "geo locked" content is legal in Canada. it may or may not be where you live. please check your local laws.
I know many of us using the VPN very openly and some company also use it because of international works but in many countries using VPN might be illegal or have get the permition form the govt to use in like the legal vpn in uae one of them .It is a strict one and it imposed on individual also So kindly look the country law where it is legal or illegal or one may be cough in to trouble.

And I’ve already removed MacScan and the other VPN, are you sure the reports says they’re still installed?
No VPN is needed unless you're hooked on a British TV show.
[Loaded] com.securemac.MacScanDaemon.plist (SecureMac - installed 2021-03-28)
In the report. May be a startup item from old use.
Thank you, the only helpful answer
you're welcome.
