Unknown icon on dock

Hello all. I discovered an icon called "BasicVirtual" in the dock on my Mac Book. I can't find it on my computer and when I clicked "open in finder" nothing opened and a question mark appeared on top of the icon. Side note: I recently found and deleted a "Coordinator Site" file from this same Mac Book; I understand that this is probably adware.


1] How do I delete it?

2] Anybody know what it is?

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14

I have the same problem. Go into applications-find the icon-drag it into waste basket. Then go into Safari extension section if the icon is there uninstall. This will only last for a couple of days and its back on my dock with a double Safari icon. Anyone who knows how to permanent remove this pest or know why it is poping up on the Mac computer please help.
