Been going mad trying to help a colleague with the #SearchMarquis browser hijacker on a Mac. Been through things like the Macpaw page manual options - no joy. We had a brief spell of success after a reinstall of chrome...then in a few minutes it was rehijacked. Having difficulty locating what app/process is doing this. #CleanMyMac X next? So out of touch with Mac stuff

Was just made aware of a Mac malware called Search Marquis after my sis in law asked me to help with some things on her Mac.

Wow, this is nasty. It infects the browser, hijacks the search engine and drills deep into ~/Library stuff. It also logs you out of Chrome randomly if you use that browser.

Mac malwares used to be really easy to deal with even without additional tools but I guess those days are over.

I’m hoping it doesn’t piggyback itself onto files and infects others that way. Plan to nuke this Mac to factory settings.
