Hello All,

I just discovered that my Mac El capitan has some weird Newtork connections which are not connected.
I tried deleting them, but after restart they came back.

Does anyone know what are these connections ? Am i infected by a virus maybe ?

Many thanks for all your help!

They look like VPN connections. Do you have a VPN application installed?

If you do, you can try to completely uninstall it by dragging the application into AppCleaner, which can be downloaded here: https://freemacsoft.net/downloads/AppCleaner_3.4.zip

If you're not sure whether or not you have a VPN application, please could you screenshot what you have in your Applications folder?

It was an app called Hotspot Shield!

Thank you for your help!!
