    Thank you so much for this. I was sceptical about following videos and downloading the mentioned softwares but I still went ahead. So my Mac Air M1 got infected with malware and adware when I was trying to download cracked versions of SPSS. I followed the steps mentioned here and was simultaneously talking to the Apple Support person on call. The Malwarebytes and Avast did identify the defects and quarantined them but I was still getting redirected to bogus websites when I searched for anything on Safari. The final thing that worked was a software update. The order of steps suggested in the video is perfect! It was similar to what Apple help guided me to do. Overall, SUPER THANKFUL for this video and especially for the comments that said it worked. If not I wouldn't have tried it at all. And SO, I feel obliged to praise the channel! THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙌💕

    Thank you so much for your info and clear instructions. It cleared up my unwanted extensions and sped up my macs processing speed by a million times faster. I was constantly having to reconnect my WiFi because of super slow connection speeds or signals. Now I’m lightening fast again. I’m so thankful!

    Omg you are God sent!!! I was ready to take my Mac to the apple store but your video basically solved the issue I had and took care of other things in addition, thanks so much bro! I liked and save this video to my favorites so every 6 months or so I can rewatch and do the process again.
