Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac      10.10 and later

Malwarebytes uninstall

Eric,

I have down loaded it and it did find a few things but has not corrected the problem. Here is what I am seeing when I look at the Safari preferences. Nothing is there under the extensions tab other than Norton which I just added. Under the General tab, it shows up but I cannot click on the settings to change or remove. Under the Websites tab, it shows up in several places, and although I can change the setting (allow/deny) at which time the "remove" button will illuminate, it will not remove it when clicked.

See. if this helps Safari/PreferencesGeneral/Home Page.

Safari Homepage setting greyed out 

How did you remove it?

You are welcome. I have run Malwarebytes multiple times in tests on my computer and have never had any problems with that program. It is highly recommended by long time posters.
