Where to go from here:


Use MalwareBytes for Mac

This is software that searches for malware/adware. So, scan with it and then remove what is found. Once removed, uninstallMalwareBytes for Mac. Then restart the Mac.


Downloads:

  1. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac
  2. Malwarebytes uninstaller

-------


Does this still occur? If so...

Boot into Safe Mode:

(hold down shift upon boot until the login screen appears). See if this is still an issue. Safe Mode lets items run as default, without changes whatsoever. That is possible because caches are temporarily disabled while in Safe Mode.
