Malware Removal Tool

Quote:

Should malware make its way onto a Mac, macOS also includes technology to remediate infections. The Malware Removal Tool (MRT) is an engine in macOS that remediates infections based on updates automatically delivered from Apple (as part of automatic updates of system data files and security updates). MRT removes malware upon receiving updated information, and it continues to check for infections on restart and login. MRT doesn’t automatically reboot the Mac.

Downloading this type of software is the very reason that I'm in this mess...installing unnecessary virus software that claims to remove malware/adware! Is there ANYONE else here who's NOT pushing software, with a solution to the problem? I'd rather reset my MAC that to download and install this or any similar products. And please...don't anyone come back with a "This worked, thanks!" reply!
