Hi Old Toad. Worked for me, although I couldn't navigate to the Free version for home Mac. So, the 'free' version I ended up downloading and using is *I think* the free 14-day trial for the Premium Version. So I will cancel it before 14 days.... or if I really like Malware scanning my Mac for malware during this time period, maybe, maybe I will go ahead and purchase. Thank you!

I have recently had this problem too. Really annoying. I tried the downloads mentioned below but without success.

However, on my other computer, a PC, I find the free "Avast" software has worked well for me for many years. So, I decided to give the free "Avast for Mac" a try. It worked a dream, instantly found and removed the Malware and my Mac is back as it was now.
