Download and run the free version of Malwarebytes. It was developed by a long time contributor to these forums and a highly respected member of the computer security community. It's designed to locate and remove malware and adware.


The free version is sufficient for most of us.

Mac's have built-in security and do not get PC viruses.

The problem is, you have installed some type of third-party junk-ware that is now causing problems.


If you know what the bogus third-party junk-ware is? Uninstall it as per the developers instructions.


Then run EtreCheckPro on your iMac Pro.

And post back here with your iMac pro's EtreCheckPro report.
