In addition to removing malware with Malwarebytes, remove any Profile added by the adware.


   1. Remove unknown profiles if present.

      System Preferences > Profiles

      Open System Preferences, click the “Profiles” icon ( a checkmark on a gear) .

      When Profiles pane opens, select the unknown profile and click the minus button at the bottom.


  2. Remove unknown extensions:  Safari > Preferences > Extensions
