what is kuklorest? Something seems to be taking over my browser and setting it to bing

Linc, thanks, I didn't see your prompt response because i didn't notice it moved to page 3... I'm a newbie on the forum.

Yes, I restarted and was pretty proud of myself so I proceeded to change all my passwords then I stopped in my tracks when I saw the Uninstall app for Kuklorest in my Applications. When I use Finder to look at it, I find there is also a README txt file there as well. In each case, when I attempt to move them to Trash, the system requires me to enter my admin password (concern?) and when I do, it returns the following error message with the familiar yellow triangle:

The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.

I was just about to try a sudo srm -rf command in terminal but i don't know that like i once knew DOS. Hope you have some ideas. I'm guessing it is a harmless remnant but I still want it gone. Thanks for your help!

That's normal. Just enter the password.

Thanks, yes, sorry if I wasn't clear but I have entered the password a few times but always get no further when I get the nasty "you don't have permission" message.

Okay, I tried moving the entire Kuklorest folder instead of the fils to Trash and to my surprise, that worked, then to my further amazement, i was able to permanently remove everything in the Trash. Problem solved! Thanks for your help earlier.

This have been a great help really appreciate the time and effort put in to helping. Would anyone recommend any of the Apple Safari Extensions in their gallery they have ad blockers and Web site warnings.

I've gotten rid of Kuklorest from my Safari browser but nothing seems to get rid of it from my Chrome browser. I even deleted Chrome completely and reinstalled it. I eliminated lots of files from Launch Agents but am afraid to eliminate any more. Is there anything that will remove Kuklorest from my Chrome Browser?

Have you tried:

I managed to find additional files in the LaunchAgents file, deleted them, and that did it. What an insideous malware package. Why is this "company" allowed and website and why hasn't it been prosecuted?
