Help Removing Last Traces of Genieo

malware

Some of that darned Genieo got on my computer. I've deleted all the files that the various places online suggest.

I can find NO trace of Genieo anywhere in my files or libraries, but with Safari and Chrome, those Genieo style ad underlines and bubbles keep appearing.

Any ideas?

Thank you; but I figured it out. I created a Test account on the computer to see if it was a system thing or user thing; turned out to be a system thing.

I then went poking around but limited my searching to the system library, and found the offending file: it was in the LaunchAgents folder, and it was

com.vsearch.agent.plist

Put that in the Trash, rebooted, emptied the Trash, and the problem went away.
