rswc90, please see my recent reply here:


iMac (Mavericks) hacked by remote user


Carbonite remains installed, along with a plethora of junk that you may want to eradicate.


Do you really want to trust some remote backup service with the entire contents of your Mac, including all the private information it contains?


Please respond to the Discussion you created - the one linked above, not this one.

In addition to all the things Linc had you remove, you also have the Spigot adware installed. Note that the presence of four separate anti-virus apps did not prevent the installation of this adware. Rather than relying on anti-virus software to protect you, you need to learn to protect yourself.


To remove the adware, see my Adware Removal Guide.


To learn how to protect yourself against malware, see my Mac Malware Guide.
