QSearch malware on Chrome

When I download Chrome, the search engine becomes QSearch and I can not remove it from Chrome settings. I have followed some steps related with that problem shared earlier here but did not work. I display in the below image SearchUp, QuicklookPI, patext and sshd keygen wrapper in full disc access setting which seem to me alien. Could you help on this issue? Thank you so much!

For the Malware Suggest downloading from a Trusted Developer and Respected ASC Contributor the application Malwarebytes for Mac. It is free or paid for added features. Run the Application and it should remove the malware / adware. Once done, restart computer and test.


This is an M1 Chip machine ? If Yes the " sshd keygen wrapper " is normal at lest it appears in my MBA M1 and definitely no malware on mine.

Do not use Chrome so guessing - Some where in Chrome Settings >>Extensions and remove the extension for the search engine ?


As for the " sshd keygen wrapper " rethink tells me it is part of Big Sur regardless Intel or M1. Something about the New Hardened and Sealed Image Volume being Signed by Apple and uniques to this machine / computer.
