[QUOTE="SweetVenom, post: 1704125, member: 360370"] So Malwarebytes found two trojans but deleting them did not solve my problem. I downloaded Find Any File and found the file. I didn't want to delete it as it seemed it was a.js file needed by Safari. Clicking on "get info" told me that Safari was chosen to open all .js files; I then changed .js files to open with Text Edit. I restarted my system and this time "utilities.js" was opened by Text Edit. I went to my system preferences login items and the file was there and so I removed it from launching with reboot. No it was not there before, I have just a few things in my login prefs and I checked multiple times and all I saw were the files I put there and about three files which I need activated upon start up. I rebooted and problem is now solved. I am going to reassociate .js files with Safari now that I don't have one in the login prefs. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :-) [/QUOTE]
