I am getting anysearchmanager screen when I turn on my computer and open Safari. I read a post indicating I should remove any extensions in Safari and open activity manager and remove (force quit) anysearch manager. But I can not see any extensions in Safari and cannot see “anysearchmanager” in activity monitor. How do I get rid of this issue?
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.13
Quit Safari. Download and run Malwarebytes for Mac to look for any ad/malware that has been installed on your Mac. Malwarebytes will also remove the infestation(s) if it finds any. It is highly recommended in these support communities, and is not an anti-virus tool.
One you have finished with Malwarebytes, press and hold the shift key, and launch Safari again. If you already have the Developer menu item, press option+command+E to clear the browser cache. Otherwise, visit Safari Preferences : Advanced panel and select Show Develop menu in menu bar, and perform the preceding sentence to clear cache. Also, on the Safari application menu, select Clear History : [all history] and select Clear History. Quit Safari, and relaunch normally.
Is the anysearchmanager still present?

Download another browser to see if you can download Malwarebytes. Having a spare browser can be beneficial.
Firefox 10.9 or higher
Opera Browser 10.9 or higher
SeaMonkey 10.9 or higher8
Waterfox 10.8 or higher
How do I download Malwarebytes for Mac when I cannot use the browser? I also tried apps store but that isn’t working (getting no connection error)
