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.

You can try running Malwarebytes or manually delete the files. On the left window of the screen shot, note the file path of the files, then go to your user Library and remove the files.


Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library.
