MacNor - Malware?

[worldomination]

What the @#$&! is MacNor? I found it on my Mac.

• com.MacNor.plist (a Launch Agent)
• MacNor Folder (in the Home Folder's Library)
• MacNor Folder (in the Home Folder's Cache folder)
• MacNor (an app in the Home Folder's Library MacNor folder)

A web search turns up nothing.

When I opened a MacNor cache file in TextEdit I found a web address...

cdn.forat.space

What the @#$&! is this?

Dunno. Run MWB to be sure: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

Sometimes Etrecheck is also enlightening.

Malwarebytes didn't pick it up. It's not on my friend's Mojave iMac; neither is it on my El Capitan MacBook Pro.

To be safe I trashed everything related to MacNor.
