Remove Config Typed will damage your computer from Mac

The following instructions will allow you to remove “Config Typed will damage your computer” in two ways:

• The manual instructions will allow you to remove it on your own by downloading 2 software suites which will show you the folders the threat is located in. Installing, scanning, and deleting everything will require 1-2 hours of your time, depending on your speed and the threat itself.
  Note: If “Config Typed” has an in-built ability to restore itself on a restart, the manual steps will not prevent that. We recommend the automatic removal.
•  Download SpyHunter for Mac (one of the apps used in the manual instructions), scan with it, and if you decide to use the program, it will likely require about 15-20 minutes. This, however, requires an active subscription for SpyHunter, which means either to use the trial version or purchase the software.

5. In Finder press Shift+Command+G to open the Find window.
