Cannot remove rogue proxy server Recently my late 2014 27-inch iMac running Catalina has been giving me problems: websites hanging or slow to load, irrationally me logging out of my user account, Keychain very unresponsive. EtreCheck threw up this: This is definitely not something I've installed (at least, not knowingly). It's self propagating (i.e. every time I delete it, it returns). I want to get this off my Mac ASAP, but have little knowledge of Network settings. I have run ClamXav, but that throws up nothing. Any ideas out there? <HELP!>

You may have installed some minor adware that keeps turning it on.

Consider creating an Etrecheck report:

Uh, no, that is a Mac-Specific "discovery" Utility written by a senior contributor on the forums.

It runs under MacOS only.
