Rebooting your Mac is often a helpful step to take, too, as doing so can sometimes flush the baddies out.īut another thing you could try is looking at what’s in your Mac’s root-level LaunchAgents folder. Then you should check your browser by looking at its installed extensions, for example. If you’ve gotten some malware installed on your Mac-if, for example, you’re seeing bad pop-ups within your browser or you note that you’ve got one of the not-helpful-or-necessary “cleanup” apps installed-then a good first step to get stuff fixed is to download Malwarebytes and run a scan.
