If you got a message such as this, it's best you ignore it, as it is a scam. Also, changing your credentials, would be highly-important, in any circumstance such as this.

I installed Malwarebytes last night and it removed searchmine. This evening it's back. Malwarebytes scans and reports computer is clean. And searchmine is still there. Any help for next steps? thanks.

Please do not download any programs from the sites below, especially MacKeeper. They will cause nothing but problems.

I have done as you instructed. I see Searchmine, but "remove it" is not highlighted, so I can't remove it.

Even though "remove it" wasn't highlighted, Searchmine seems to be gone now....so thank you very much!

Go to Safari, then preferences, then website and highlight searchmine.com and then click on remove it, which is in the bottom of the same page.
