[QUOTE="Jack, post: 1013099, member: 1"] Hello [USER=97749]@catinreno[/USER], Your computer should be clean, however, let's do a quick check. 1. Let's check if there are any malicious profiles installed on your Mac: [LIST=1] [*]Go to System Preferences. [*]Click Profiles. [*]The list may include a malicious item “AdminPrefs“. Select this and click the remove “–” button in the lower-left corner. [B]If there isn’t a Profiles icon, you don’t have any profiles installed, which is normal.[/B] [/LIST] 2. Let's check if there are any unknown extensions installed on Safari. In the Safari app on your Mac, [B]choose Safari > Settings, then click Extensions[/B]. Look for any extensions that you didn't install and remove them. 3. Open the Safari app on your Mac, and [B]choose Safari > Settings.[/B] [B]Click Websites, then click Notifications.[/B] [B]Deselect “Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications.” [/B]This should prevent spam notifications in the future. Next, I would recommend that you install an ad blocker like AdGuard extension for Safari (Free) - [URL='https://apps.apple.com/us/app/adguard-for-safari/id1440147259?mt=12']AdGuard for Safari[/URL] 4. If you have the time, you can run another scan with Malwarebytes to ensure no other malware is detected. That's it, let me know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
