Possible Malware/Virus? Norton?

There are viruses that can install themselves on the mac. The existing malware relies on fooling the user into installing it.

In order to have a clear picture of what is installed that could be unwanted, you can run Etrecheck and post its report here. We can look at the report to see if something dodgy comes up.

Go to About this Mac>Overview>Software and click on, on e at a time, Applications and Installations to see like of apps and when things were installed. You can sort those by date by clicking on the date column.

After you click on an Applications of Installation you have to wait for the list to be generated and show in the windows so do not give up early.

Download and run this app so we can find more information about your installation.
