I'm afraid that jaybass must either nuke & pave, or, at the very least, run Little Snitch.

I wonder if he can put his financial accounts on some sort of "hold" until this is all resolved?

I do have an arrangement with my bank managers and alerts have been put on all that matters so I'm not too worried. I did search just about everything on my computer and I couldn't find anything untoward. Time will tell and if something should happen, it won't be a disaster. jaybass

It may be late in the game to make this suggestion, but perhaps still worth a shot. A recent update reminded me of DetectX, a utility that lists ‘a variety of hidden files on your system’, including a.o. those installed by certain keyloggers. You might want to run it to see if one of those is present on your Mac, but note the limitations. DetectX is similar to KnockKnock, a utility I mentioned elsewhere, with an overlapping albeit not identical list of ad- or malware checked for.

And while we’re on the topic, you might take a gander at Sqwarq’s other utilities App Fixer and FastTasks 2. Note: I have no interest whatsoever in Sqwarq other than being a interested user.
