You did indeed ..... but you asked me to carry out instructions in 
Terminal with which I was unfamiliar.

It's a bit like clicking on a link having no idea WHERE it might lead!

No. An Apple support page instructed you to execute some commands. 
You claimed you followed the instructions on that Apple support page. I
only asked you what the output of those commands was.

Only if you think you can't trust Apple's own support pages, which would
be very silly.

On reflection, I could have been more compliant. I apologise to you.

I do trust instructions given by Apple themselves.

you're so incredibly lost, plus you're posting mac troubleshooting
questions to a windows group, who aren't interested.

There you go again - making assumptions! You have absolutely no idea 
whether or not anyone on the Windows10 group is interested in Apple malware!

I would never have guessed a Mac had a "Safe" boot mode.
Maybe that's an Intel era feature, as I don't think my G4 Quad
Nostril (PowerPC) had that.

When the Apple machine has been started in Safe boot mode, those words 
appear in RED text in the top right hand corner of one's screen.

it has a lot of things many people don't think it does.

it definitely did, as did older 68k macs.

Idiot... if you think that there is or ever has been a virus (note carefully, 
a VIRUS) which was ever in the wild and affected OS X, macOS, whatever Apple 
calls it this week, please list the CVE ID. Have a look here: 
https://cve.mitre.org/cve/ and see if they have even one. Then tell me why 
anyone at all should listen to _you_ when security pros can’t find any 
viruses for macOS.

Note that there _is_ malware for Macs, and such malware _is_ listed. There 
are trojans, and adware, and spyware, and a few others. There are no, none, 
zero viruses. None of them. There have never been any for macOS. Never. The 
adware, trojans, and so on are all of them easily avoided without the need 
for deploying anti-malware software. The day there are actual, real, serious, 
malware threats for Macs is the day that there will be lots of screaming on 
sites like the MITRE site. Not on sites run by anti-malware companies, they 
have a vested interest in FUD. Some of them (Intego) have made a habit of 
maximizing the scare factor by saying that they ‘protect’ against a long 
list of threats, many (most?) of which are no longer threats. Intego used to 
say that its products protected OS X against Scores and nVIR and wDEF, which 
was utter bullshit, none if those malware could _run_ on OS X, not even in 
the Classic environment. And there hasn’t been a Classic environment for a 
very long time.

although intego ranks high among the sleaziest, that was actually a
different anti-malware company,

some of those stopped working with system 7, nearly 30 years ago.
