Removing Spigot malware

Do you have any of the extensions listed in this article?

Malware – Adware removal – Apple Support

No nn extensions. I stopped using Safari - use FF instead now - no addon or extenisons active on FF either.

I did a clean install in a blank partition and migrated data over. This was after I had rid the spigot gunk on the old install.

Watching Consol there seem to be files named storeagent which calls various stuff for instance:

storeagent[8580] Invalid port: com.apple.storeClient-52912 in process: 8577

com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[127] (com.spigot.ApplicationManager) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds

com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[127] (com.spigot.ApplicationManager[8855]) posix_spawn("/Users/chrisg/Library/Application Support/Spigot/ApplicationManager", ...): No such file or directory

Locations

Users/name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist (a file)

System/Library/LanuchAgents/com.apple.storeagent.plist (a file)

Users/name/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent (a folder)

Users/name/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent.cache.default (a folder)

Users/name/Library/Caches/storgeagent (a folder)

System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CommercialKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/st orgeagent (a file)

I'm all for eliminating all of these, but do not know if would do more harm than good.

Thanks

Linc, why can't they just delete the folder Spigot? I didn't see this genio.app anywhere but I did see a Spigot folder after running a grep. Perhaps it's getting in another way? A chrome extension or something? I was noticing high revs on CPU when using Google Analytics only in Chrome. The only thing I've added lately was a rip off of Ad Block Plus. It wasn't the original. Ever since I started seeing issues in CPU. Once I ran my grep I saw the maleware.

Thoughts?

Move the folder to the Trash, restart, and if everything then works okay, delete it.
