I tried everything and 3 phone calls with Apple and this was the only thing that worked. Quit Chrome and restart it and voila the virus will be gone. I copy and pasted the first line and then hit enter and then went to the next until I had finished all 6 below:ĭefaults write HomepageIsNewTabPage -bool falseĭefaults write NewTabPageLocation -string “ ”ĭefaults write HomepageLocation -string “ ”ĭefaults delete DefaultSearchProviderSearchURLĭefaults delete DefaultSearchProviderNewTabURLĭefaults delete DefaultSearchProviderName You do this by opening up “Terminal” and copy and paste each of the following entries below. Use the command line to delete / modify the affected policies. If you’re infected, it should be very obvious as the half-dozen or so policies changed by weknow will be displayed. You can see your current Chrome policies by typing chrome://policy/ into your URL bar. “ weknow.ac” changes a group of Chrome policies so as to set a new default homepage, new tab behavior, etc. (Only advisable if you have a current Time Machine Backup)
