A search engine called weknow and the infamous Mac Cleanup snuck in with a flash upgrade. I ran Malwarebytes and it got rid of a bunch of stuff, but after restarts, the weknow site is still my homepage, and it's lightened and un-editable. I literally have NO extensions and I cleaned out any cookies that I didn't recognize. Also searched system files for anything like weknow. No luck.
Any thoughts? Thanks very much.

That was the ticket! Thanks very much! And many thanks to Thomas R - he's all over this forum!
(After the Malwarebytes run, then restart, go to profiles in system prefs and delete the one with weknow there, restart.)
thanks very much — I already did that. This seems to be a response to that solution. I’m locked out.
Hmm. Why can't I click on Helpful button on your post?
Thanks very much!
You are welcome.
