[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1608904, member: 76746"] Hi All! Today, I was using [I]Easy Find[/I] to look for a file with the word 'completer' in it. Some items I did not recognize showed up. (The file I was seeking didn't have anything to do with the files in my question below. It was a Word document that was used the word 'completer' in a totally non computer situation.) [I]Easy Find[/I] showed a folder called "Com.Genieo.Innovation.Installer". Inside was [I]Completer.app[/I]. My next search was for Genieo. More files showed up. The[I] Easy Find [/I]results are in first attached photo. They are dated September 5th, except for the webhistory showing this evening's search on line. I learned that [I]Genieo[/I] is adware. I was prompted to download & downloaded [I]Adobe Flash[/I] update recently, but I went directly to Adobe's site, or so I thought. Maybe that's where it came from. Searching here, a post gave a link to an article on The Safe Mac about removing [I]Genieo[/I], but my files are not where the ones in the article are. Also, the article kind of scared me into thinking I may mess my computer up totally. I also found a folder in Applications called "Install Mac" with[I] ResetSearch.app[/I] inside. (The [I]Finder[/I] page in Applications is the second photo that is attached) I found another article saying they are related to Genieo. A quick check of Activity Monitor shows that nothing called "Genieo" or "Reset Search" are running. The Million Dollar Question Is- Can I dump these files in the trash safely? Thanks for helping!
