Hi John, I had already tried this but I didn't honestly understand what I was dong. I isolated the Daemon files but was unsure what to do about them. Rather that do any damage I downloaded the trial Malwarebytes and it did the trick. Thank you so much for your reply, it would certainly have helped if I was more savvy regarding the digital viscera of my MacBook.
Kind regards,
Jane
Getting rid of "Search Marquis" is easy and you don't need to install anything.
To ascertain the cause so that you can eliminate it, start by inspecting the contents of the following folder:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
To open that folder, copy the entire line above and paste it in the Finder's Go menu > Go to Folder... field. Make it look like this:
... and click the Go button.
A Finder window will open. Make sure all its file names are readable by selecting View > as List or other selection that shows that folder's complete contents. Then, take a screenshot of that Finder window.
Often, there is nothing in that Launch Agents folder so don't be surprised to find it empty.
In the same manner as the above, navigate to this next folder:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
The Finder's Go menu > Go to Folder... field should look like this:
... and click the Go button once again.
Once again ensure all its files and their names are readable and capture a screenshot.
Then, repeat that exercise with the following folder:
/Library/LaunchAgents
Notice its pathname is different than the other two. The Finder's Go menu > Go to Folder... field should look like this:
In the end, you will have captured the contents of the following three separate folders:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchAgents
All three will be saved to your Mac's Desktop with names "Screen Shot... " followed by the date and time they were captured. Please be sure to include or otherwise indicate the name of the folder that corresponds to each screenshot, so that you and I can keep track of which ones they are.
Post the entire contents of all three windows, one at a time, using the "picture" icon that appears below your reply text:
Hi Phil, after attempting the 'Go' method to isolate Library items, I decided that my lack of experience in hidden files etc. could result in my doing more harm than good. Reluctantly, I downloaded and tried the Malwarebytes freebie. At first it didn't cure the problem. However, I left it overnight to do its scheduled scan (at 9 a.m. this morning). Not optimistic that the situation had changed, I opened Safari at breakfast and felt such relief that normal service in Safari/Duck Duck Go had resumed. I have been using Macs and Apple products in one form or other for 20 years and have never encountered a virus. I know.... always a first time. Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Jane
Glad it worked out.
