My Chrome browser has been taken over by Searchitnow bug. I shut down Chrome and it automatically starts back up. When I do a search, it changes from google to Bing. It's quite annoying. So far Safari is not effected. Read stuff about malwarebytes or some such program. Any help?
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.14
DO MalwareBytes
It was originally called AdwareMedic = authored by a well-respected veteran member here in ASC - thomas_r. (Thomas Reed)
MalwareBytes bought AdwareMedic from him and made him Director of Mac Products
Apple Support (phone) specialists recommend MWB for Mac all the time
I run MWB Pro (for PC = $35/yr) and it would never have let me INSTALL the malware to begin with
You get this stuff because you want stuff for FREE - you get what you pay for.

Please use the manual method. Do not download any programs besides Malwarebytes..

I have not found any extension named searchitnow. And all manual methods have failed. The only thing I was able to do was to remove the Searchitnow from the search bar. It still acts the same when you do any search. Goes right to Bing and not google. I did not try the malwarebytes download and not feeling good about it.
Searchitnow has taken over Chrome browser. Any help?
