[QUOTE="Timtraveller, post: 1799643, member: 125706"] Malwarebytes didn't find it, but I wanted to try something like that sooner or later so thanks for the hint. [B]Find Any File[/B] – great! I've sometimes been disappointed by Spotlight, and this is a perfect complement to it. Many thanks, Patrick! Morever, it did find tracks of the spyware: Firefox/Profiles/stogmlma.default-1490440923753-1533525534836/storage/default/https+++en.savefrom.net It's worth noting that although I've cleaned the history of Firefox, the same "Default" folder contains information about sites I've visited since August 6th. Below "https+++en.savefrom.net" there's 211 kb worth of random data. It seems it's not just a matter of removing the "savefrom" folder, but maybe the entire "stogmlma" (not recognised by google) is of its creation? [B]Would removing the "stogmlma.default..." folder solve it all?[/B] I'm glad I started looking into this, the approximately daily "Bing!" sound and the ad in the right corner of Firefox is absolutely offensive, not to mention the fact that it's spyware of course.
