You may have installed a variant of the "VidX" trojan. To remove it, first open the Applications folder by selecting
Go ▹ Applications
from the Finder menu bar, or by pressing the key combination shift-command-A. Look for an item named "VidX," "MacVx," "MacFest," "MacMin," or similar. If present, drag it to the Trash and empty. If in doubt, order the folder window by date modified and delete any application near the top that you don't recognize.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extension you don't know you need. If in doubt, remove all of them. None is needed for normal operation. You may have more than one that's malicious. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
Many thanks !
it worked 🙂
