I don¡¯t think you are infected. Research ¡°McAfee malware¡±. It is techniquely not malware, but a exploitation of a browser extension.?

Just home from 2 weeks holiday, and I turn om my Mac and the first thing I see is a notification that my Mac has been infected. ?
<Screenshot 2023-08-09 at 21.17.58.png>
Image attached here - I hope it works. It¡¯s in Danish, but it will tell you what it looks like.?
A second later, the notification is gone.?
But only for a few minutes, then it returns with a new text; My iCloud has been hacked!?
It¡¯s obviously some kind of malware.?
I have checked the browsers for weird unwanted extras but there¡¯s nothing there.?
I have checked the LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents folders on system level and user level.Nothing suspicious there.
So I ran downloades and ran Malwarebytes. It found at PUP that I removed.?
But no change.?
So I downloaded at ran AVG. It didn¡¯t find anything.
So I downloaded at ran DetectX Swift. It didn¡¯t find anything.
So I downloaded at ran Into VirusBarrier. It didn¡¯t find anything.?
And the annoying notifications continue ¡?
I wonder where they come from - I don¡¯t visit questionable websites. I¡¯m careful what emails I open. And why is it suddenly there, when I return from holiday? A ¡°sleeper¡±??
But most of all ¡ how doing I get rid of it??
