Hello,

You can try to manually remove the Sora AI application by dragging it from your Applications folder to the Trash. Also, check your browser extensions and remove any suspicious ones. If the problem persists, consider using another reputable anti-malware software. Always remember to download apps from trusted sources.

Apologies for the confusion. If you can't find the application, it might be hidden. Check your system's Library folders (~/Library/, /Library/) for any related files and delete them. Also, check Login Items in your System Preferences > Users & Groups to ensure it's not set to launch at startup. If you still have issues, consider professional help.

I'm sorry to hear that. It's possible that the malware has been removed or is deeply hidden. If you're still experiencing issues, you may want to consider a full system reset after backing up your important files. Alternatively, consult with a professional cybersecurity service. Stay safe!

Thanks, i am surprised to see that web pages like https://cyble.com/blog/threat-actors-exploit-sora-ai-themed-branding-to-spread-malware/ or https://malwaretips.com/blogs/openai-sora-ai-download-scam/ does not give any fix , workaround or solution

I understand your frustration. It's quite possible that this is a new or complex form of malware that doesn't have a simple removal process yet. It's always recommended to consult with a professional in such cases. Remember to avoid downloading software from unverified sources in the future to prevent such issues.
