This box keeps appearing with the text "spi is trying to modify the system network configuration". What is spi and what is it trying to modify? Should I enter my password and allow it?
MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)
I was experiencing this issue too, and I believe spi is a residue of Mackeeper app that I uninstalled. This Mackeeper has suddenly coming from no where might be from app that my girlfriend installs. What I did to resolve this is just by uninstalling the spi from application list in the finder. Hope this would helps. And the prompt is gone, so do the pop-ups in the browser whenever I open up a new tab.
Same here. Every time I boot my MacBook Pro - I get a crash report of uninstaller... and it is because of an "illegal operation".
Followed your steps and was able to remove it.... still wonder what it was though... 🤔
In this context SPI is a malware app, not the hardware bus. Thats why it ends up in the Applications directory, along with the uninstall which is in ~/Library/SPI
SPI=Search Page Installer
And yes, it’s malwear
Thanks! What do you mean by reboot? Restart or reinstalling mac software again?

I still have this problem too after removing the SPI from my Applications. Any more info on how to get rid of it?
you have to delete "uninstaller" too. then if it's not gone for good, you're gonna have to reset your mac to factory settings
If I reset to factory settings... do I loose my programmes and files?
