Kept on redirecting to search marquis . Now feeling helpless . Can anyone help how to download and run the antivirus. These are my screenshots.

To locate the path of malware , open Activity monitor through spotlight , select a process and click on I icon and click on open files and ports , you can copy the file and paste in search bar of the activity monitor to find the path in the folder say in system library and user library .
