[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1949289, member: 190607"] AnyDesk isn't malware. It is legitimate screen sharing software. For it to get on your Mac you have to download it volitionally. And for it to run you have to volitionally give it permission. A "hacker" can't do either remotely. Here are a couple of excellent free anti-malware and anti-adware programs. (I don't expect either to help you, as Any Desk isn't malware. But it can't hurt to run them.): VirusBarrier Free Edition (free) [URL code="true"]https://apps.apple.com/us/app/virusbarrier-scanner/id1200445649[/URL] DetectX (free) [URL code="true"]https://sqwarq.com/detectx/[/URL] Here is a nice free uninstaller program: [B][B][B]AppCleaner [/B][/B][/B](free) [URL code="true"]https://freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/[/URL] However, if the Any Desk app is not longer on your computer, AppCleaner can't be used to find associated support files. You can use this free search application to do a search for "Any Desk" and/or the name of Any Desk's developer. It will search everywhere on your computer, even for invisible files (unlike Spotlight). Set it NOT to look within files, as that would take forever.
