Hello Neeneex3,

 

Welcome to the Community Forum!

 

Looks like a few are having this Genieo malware...

 

EDIT: Genieo is a search engine program that will change your personal and default browser settings upon installation. Genieo is not usually considered a virus or malware program (although 21 security solutions list the Mac version as adware), but uses the keywords you enter into the Genieo search engine to generate an excessive number of sponsored links and ads mixed in with your search results.



 

Sorry to hear about you having this issue on your Mac.

 

Please issue a Support Ticket free of charge with an active subscription, and the support team will get this cleared up for you.

 

 

Best Regards,

 
Looks like Macs are getting hit with Adware pretty badly now.

 

I wonder how much Adware is independent of a computers OS?
Can you please supply the path that webroot is showing for the threat, This will help me determine what is happening.

Thanks,
