I did all the steps in this video and got rid of the corrupted file/application, but it still won't let me change my default web browser back to google. Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance.
    Edit: I realized I forgot to say that I couldn't find an extension that was suspicious. The only ones I have are the standard ones google implements like google spreadsheets and offline editing.

Change the password for your Google account and set up 2 step verification, if that doesn’t work make a whole new Google account. If weird stuff still shows up go to Best Buy, AT&T, Sprint, or whatever you use and I’m sure they will be happy to help you

    I have a VERY bad issue. My computer claims “this application cannot be opened” for all apps, there is search hijackers, if no longer reads USB drives, logins are corrupted, (as in refuse to work) chrome is glitched, nothing is working and I have tried everything. I was going to insert two 8 GB USB drives to factory reset my computer after putting anything I want to keep on the drives, and then it wouldn’t work. It worked fine not even a week ago, but I have a feeling it’s the hackers getting mad at me for removing certain things they have put on my computer. What do I do? Anybody? Please? I’m only 14. I don’t know what to do.

But yea this tutorial works coming from someone who would rather not do all this but it ended up being worth it!

    Do you have a video that will get rid of my Mac book pro saying “Utility will damage your computer. You should move it to the trash.” The box has an explanation in a yellow triangle. With a checked box To report to Apple to protect other users.
    If you hit Cancel it just keeps popping up.
    Ugh! I need help!

    My computer, Catalina 10.15.7, bears almost no resemblance to this instructor's computer. I've been looking all over and finding only empty files and folders. I can't find any screen showing extensions. I'm going to have a drink and do more tomorrow. Thank you for helping me. Soldiering on.

    Exactly what I need !! I hope it helps my Mac as I am having an issue with "complete ready" extension and I have no idea what it is !!

    I thought these comments were bots and the video was fake (I mean, most tech videos are) but holy shit thank you so much. This actually worked. I found so many random pictures, files and even videos in my Mac’s Finder and it scared the hell out of me. Hopefully my PC is now protected. Thank you!

    Dear, could you also explain to us how to remove this Avast Virus scanner, afterwards? Cause on my Mac, it doesn't want to go: "Cannot be removed because in use" , although the program is closed.
    Thank you
