Full Disk access in the Etrecheck can remove most unwanted from within the app.

jnoahRN examines 2 foundations causing concern: security and system. The unwanted (( Ultrawebformat )) is what Apple calls MALWARE. To a wise old hack like me, piece of cake. But you have to wrap yourself around your issue, and its causes. That said, let's fix your problem.

Security administration involves App Store user environment management (nordVPN IKE and Bitdefender) and bridging that Store to the greater universe, perhaps a tool like Tor Browser. Security mistakes frequently victimize unaware users with malware. I do not recommend Malwarebytes because it hogs in with so many insensitive tools that it too can become malware.

System administration involves external user environment management (Carbon Copy and Techsmith) and bridging that macOS presentation to a world of very real threats, perhaps a tool like CleanMyMac which in its entire mass is toxic swamp, but which does include the one utility that you require immediately, Uninstaller.

Sorry, but you really do need the security-system (abstract internal-external) approach or you are just flopping around in the mud like a fish out of water. Perhaps some of my favorite software interventions will help. Perhaps they too cannot fix the real problem that put malware on your device. Be intelligent and cautious, instinct will do the rest!

Why would you cram Google SPYWARE Chrome into the guts of a beautiful network tool like MacBook Safari? By the way ALL of my suggestions above involve one-time use and Erase utility. Culminating in Recovery Erase Reinstall. Obviously, not hot on deviations. Deviations always crash and burn.

Leroy, you are such a champion on these forums. Out if interest Leroy, have you ever put an M1 into DFU? I'm struggling haha. I'm struggling to boot mine at all.

If so I will make a new thread for the issue ahah. But you really are awesome

You can't put Chrome into Safari. That makes no sense.
