Re: upgrade then virus?
I do not mean to be rude, but you did not follow Randy¡¯s instructions. He said nothing about caches, or passwords. He wrote about Extensions and Settings. Yes, you may need to enter a password to

Re: upgrade then virus?
Yes, just ignore it. The file is SIP protected, so you won't be able to delete it in any case. As I replied in your other thread, Intego will certainly fix it with an update shortly.

Re: upgrade and virus issue-Maybe
Almost certainly VirusBarrier is seeing something in an XProtect signature file that matches a VB uses. Intego should correct the situation with an update shortly, so ignore it for now.

Re: upgrade then virus?
If you are actually infected with Genieo (which is a bit of adware that isn¡¯t malicious), it¡¯s easy to manually get rid of. ? Launch Safari, click on the Safari menu, and choose Preferences. ?

Re: upgrade then virus?
You could try clicking the magnifying glass in VirusBarrier Scanner to locate the infected file in the Finder and delete it manually from there.

Re: Brave questions
Do you save passwords in Brave? If so, Brave is storing them in your keychain and thus this dialog is legit. In that case, I recommend entering your password and clicking Always Allow. Then it will

Re: Macintosh Slowdowns
I wonder whether gparted could do the "secure erase" on an SSD, but I don't have one to play with. Theoretically, a Mac should see a "secure erased" SSD as a brand new one or am I missing something?

Re: Macintosh Slowdowns
Correct. Trashing files or apps on an SSD only marks the space that they take up as ¡°available¡±, it doesn¡¯t erase them. The articles that I cited explain why that results in a nasty slowdown.
