1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.


2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?

The application is free or paid from added features. 


Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).


It will take a Snap Shot -  both the hardware and software.

OK I’m getting this message to I’m curious does this mean my security was compromised because I feel as if somebody’s been remotely accessing my computer and I’m getting that message because I started to delete things that I thought might be the reason for the security being compromise but I am not 100% sure as to exactly what I’m doing all I know is that I came home and all my desktop had been ran through so I’m not exactly sure what is going on it’s just it all my files were open and on display when they weren’t previously on display it was extremely strange somebody had definitely altered my computer and I’m trying to figure out what exactly is the best way to go about handling this to ensure the integrity of my security of my Apple it’s a 27 inch iMac late 2015 retina 5k 3.2 ghz quad core intel core i5

Download and install the free Malwarebytes for Mac, and run it. See if it detects any adware/malware. At your option, you can remove Malwarebytes afterward from its Help menu. It is a 14-day trial of full features, and afterward, it disables the full features, and remains an (unpaid) useful tool.


When these Finder ksec URI began appearing, had you recently installed any browser extensions or software downloaded from sites other than from the original developer?
