safefinder app

I'm trying to delete the safefinder application and move it to bin but it keeps saying it's open. I go into the force quit tab and safefinder doesn't come up. What do it do?

MacBook Pro 13”, macOS 10.14

 1. There is adware installed on your Mac.


     Run  the latest release of Malwarebytes for Mac to remove malware/adware, if 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.


2. Additional steps to take if necessary.

   1. Reset search engine:    https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/customize-your-search-ibrwe75c2a3c/mac

   2. Reset  Homepage.   https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/set-your-homepage-ibrw1020/mac
