Then, if you must use cocktail purpose built for the job BUT READ THE HOW TO s FIRST.

I don't like Mbytes any longer, on HS 10.13.4 their stated procedure does not fully remove it. Just view Activity Monitor it will show RTprotectionDaemon running. It also will not remove the ikon from toolbar. I agree this is an old trick once common to trashy software.

Just another note. Use the TOR version of FireFox for Mac it has NoScipt baked in and works. I also add Ghostly.

Borrow a trusted friends Mac and go to a reputable AV source ClamXav and Sophos (for Mac) come to mind. Download to a thumb drive (pen drive) and then virus check it. Then copy it to an easily discovered place on the mac hdd like downloads or desktop and make a bootable usb drive and install the AV scanner/removal tool. Shut down you infected mac. Insert the usb (trogan) removal tool and hold down the option key. Continue to hold as the mac boots and select the usb drive as boot shows options. Trojans usually load as the EFI calls the OS, so not running the OS provides the most effective removal. Also many malware are self seeding and somewhat immune to AV scanners in the OS.
