What I suggest is to go to System Settings, and have a look at what is starting up when you restart your computer in Login Items:

System Settings, General, Login Items.

Malware - commonupdater Hello, I recently tried to download an online game to play on my MacBook. Unfortunately it did not work and something called 'commonupdater' downloaded with it. It seems to control the internet (redirects you away from google search engine, creates a ghost safari page on my bottom line of open apps). I moved the app to trash, but it has reappeared a few weeks later. Is there any safe programme that can scan my macOS for any dangerous malware? Thanks for any advice!
