Spotlight not indexing after Sierra upgrade

 Looks like this helped me:

  1. first I removed all selections under System Preferences/ Spotlight/ search results
  2. restart
  3. use terminal:
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    wait 20s
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist
    sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/*
    you should get a message indicating that indexing is enabled.

Remove Mac Malware

 Bug  Remove Mac Malware (Fake Defender etc.)

Apples official removal steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4650

Start spotlight (using keyboard “command” key + “space bar” key)
type Activity Monitor and press return.
After the Activity monitor opens only “My Processes” list is displayed and need to be changed to “All Processes” from the drop down menu in the middle/ upper right corner of the Activity monitor window.

Depending on the malware variant name you are removing you need to find it and select it under the “Process Name” column.
Once selected click the red stop sign “Quit Process” button which is located on the upper left corner of the Activity Monitor window and click on “Force Quit”

Open Finder and go to the Applications folder.
Again depending on the malware name locate it in the Applications folder and drag it to the trash. (make sure to empty the trash once done)

Aditionally you should remove the malware from the Login Item list which is located in the user accounts under System Preferences.

Using spotlight type accounts and press return.
Click on the Login Items button.
Select the coresponding malware name you are removing and click on the minus button located below the list of Login Items.

Make sure to install all available updates from the Software Updates under the apple menu.

Consider getting antivirus. Smile
