Don't know how to remove the malware from terminal.


Have you tried Malwarebytes for Mac?


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

     Install guide:       https://support.malwarebytes.com/docs/DOC-1817

     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.

     Repeat the scan couple of times.

     Once done quit Malwarebytes for Mac.

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

 2. Remove unknown and third party installed extensions if installed.
