Q: I have a strange problem with my RAM being taken over by Installers. When I check the Activity Monitor, 3 Installers are open and they start at around 80 MB of RAM used to about 7 or 8 after 10 minutes or so.
I have a strange problem with my RAM being taken over by Installers. When I check the Activity Monitor, 3 Installers are open and they start at around 80 MB of RAM used to about 7 or 8 Gigs after 10 minutes or so. I have to force them to quit, but I don't know what I'm closing or why they open in the first place. Apps downloaded from iTunes ???
Also, the Console has opened with this same message a few times, but I don't know what it means.
Any help would be appreciated.

You have adware installed. Run the report again and where you see the red Adware, click Remove. Once complete, run the report again and post a copy into a new reply.
Or download this program which was written by Thomas Reed, a long time poster. The program will do the work for you which makes it easy.

What should I do if Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac didn't solve my problem?
Most people advise not to use cleaning programs. They can destroy your computer operation as they may already have done.
After un-installing, use this program to make sure you got all the pieces.
