Cannot quit Safari.

I am unable to quit Safari. I have done the force quit several times, rebooted the computer several times, tried to delete Safari ( Iknow that won't work but it was out of frustration).


Any assistance would be helpful.

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

     There is adware installed on your Mac.


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

     For instructions:  Install Malwarebytes for Mac          Uninstall Malwarebytes for Mac

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

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