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

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.
Also check Safari/Preferences/General to see what your Home Page is set to. If Searchpulse, change it.
Thank you.
Deleting the unknown profile and changing the Home Page ( searchpulse auto installed itself) corrected the situation . Will also be installing Malwarebytes to prevent future issues.
