akamaihd

I got this bad boy akamaihd installed in my mac, has blocked me from delete it in Chrome Settings manage search engines, (unable to use the dropdown menu from the three dots next to akamaihd.

Removed all extensions, cleaned all history, cookies and cashes.


No suspicious applications installed.


The list in Setting - Privacy & Security is empty, so it is the one in Login Items in Users & Privacy.


I have run different anti-viruses and MalwareBytes with no results.


The default search engine gone back to Google in Safari, but it is very stubborn in Chrome, I tried to find where akamaihd installed itself with intentions to remove it manually but no luck.


Any idea folks?


Thanks in advance.
