How to remove .sbs malware and 'Window' bar from MacBook Pro(2018)?

Apparently, I have some version of an.sbs browser hijacker malware on my 2018 MacPro. I've found instructions for removing one type of .sbs malware, but can't make them work.


There's also a 4 in. x .25 in. bar that says "WINDOW" floating around my main screen and I can't get rid of that either.


Anyone have ideas?

.sbs looks like a file extension...(?) Is there something more that you are seeing, under what circumstance?


How about a posting screen shot of this window you are seeing for something more to go on.
