Thanks for that information, done it and it work, but just one thing, every once in a while it stills get reinstall again, even after the pop up window appears, I always say cancel to avoid install, but no matter what always gets installed, and have to use the commands you shared on the terminal, but the solution is just for a couple of days, since it reinstalls again and again, no matter what. Any help??

The terminal harkens back to the day before the graphical user interface. It is run from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal on your hard disk.


A cursor follows a prompt at the end of the line, where you type everything you need in one line.

The prompt in this case is normally a $ sign.

If you receive a series of one line commands with multiple words and symbols, each individual command line separated by a line feed, needs to be entered followed by the enter key to take place.


Mac OS X at its backdrop is a mix of FreeBSD and NetBSD Unix, which Apple has modified to become the language of Darwin.

Unlike MS-DOS all the directory paths use the / slash between them.

Please start a new topic thread if you are running into trouble running the commands for this disinfectant series of commands.
