Uninstalled kaspersky but the IDS is still running in network and Monterey upgrade wifi problem I uninstalled kaspersky from my macbook pro, but the Kaspersky IDS still shows up in my Network, and it's preventing me from downloading a new antivirus software. How do I remove it? It says to use "sysextctrld" to control this content filter configuration. Part 2 - I upgraded to Monterey 12.6 yesterday, and now my wifi shows as connected but it isn't. Thanks for any and all help. I just got this back from the Apple store yesterday, after paying to have a new battery installed, and am frustrated with all of these new problems.

Uninstall "McAfee". Rule 1 of Macs is don't install junk.

Follow its uninstallation instructions, assuming they work.
