Exactly what makes the User believe this is Malware ?


Is the computer acting oddly?


Is the Browser being redirected ?


Has the user downloaded and installed some software recently from an unknown developers ?


There is Adware & Malware which will affect the computer and is generally downloaded from “ Shady “ Websites or Developers who Inject this software into the download.


Should “ Certain & Specific Software “ referenced from above be installed - it will negatively impact macOS. It is suggested, download directly from the Developer , 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.
