How do I remove malware from my iMac (Catalina)?

If you're referring to macOS malware, click here.

If you're referring to Windows malware, use ClamXav or the tools built into Windows.

If you're referring to a browser popup warning of malware, it's a scam unless it came in response to uploading a file, in which case, see the Windows line or just delete the file.
