  Note: If ElementaryTyped 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.
