How do I remove Search Pulse from my MacBook pro. If you do a Google search, the resulting sites will either try to get you to download virus software (probably the people who created Searchpulse) or instruct you to delete the extension which does not exist with this malware. Anybody find something that works?

Download and run Malwarebytes. Malwarebytes was developed by one of our own colleagues here in ASC and is about the most proven anti-malware software for Mac. It’s the only one recommended by Apple tech support folks.

Thanks for the reply. I did download the free 14 day trial of Malwarebytes and ran the scan on my laptop. The scan did not find any malware. I tried to contact Malwarebytes but there isn't any contact email or phone number on their website. Would the full paid version have the ability to find the Searchpulse malware?
No, the free version is all you need. Sometimes you need to run it more than once. Also there's a possibility that Malwarebytes cannot remove it.
Here are some manual instructions:

But do not download any so-called "cleaners", they will make matters worse.
