Safari won't quit

Running Mojave. Safari wont quit. Have tried force quit, have located PID in Activity Monitor and tried 'kill' command through Terminal. Even tried to delete the app. Sill refuses to quit. Any ideas?

Safari doesn’t stay quit?


There is adware installed on your Mac.


     Use  the latest release of Malwarebytes for Mac to remove malware/adware.

     Uninstall Guide:  https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-1190


     The installer may ask you to allow it in Security & Privacy  /System Preference. Allow it.

     Click the “Scan Now” button. Once done quit Malwarebytes for Mac.

     Restart the computer, relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.
