[QUOTE="ehwj, post: 964752, member: 93544"] Thank you for your reply. I did not find any applications that appeared to be "suspicious" and none with "gofenews" in its name. I have only three extensions, one for eWallet AutoPass and two for Parallels. I am beginning to rethink my problem. I do not find any suspicious apps. Malwarebytes doesn't find any thing at all (no threats or PUPs detected). The only thing I have is instances on my desktop (see attached Screenshot) and entries in Safari->Preferences->Websites, such as 1736gofenews.com and others with different 4 digit numbers followed by gofenews.com. The indicates to me that maybe the unwanted program - gofenews.com - is just on my desktop and in Safari, and its cache. But I haven't found a way to get it off of the desktop into trash or any other way to get rid of it. Sometimes I can remove it from Safari Preferences, but not usually. What usually happens is that instance goes away and another one appears with a new 4 digit number. The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is to "Allow" the app to show alerts in the Notification Center, which I am afraid to do. Can you think of anything else I might try? [/QUOTE]
