My Safari stop working after few minutes of browsing. I have to turn off and turn my laptop again to get another few minutes of browsing. Also I have noticed when browsing from google it is reroute me to Yahoo search and shows safe finder Icon. I believe that is some malware and he can cause problems with Safari. I have tried any advice on how to remove that malware I could find on Internet but with no success. Can anyone help?

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions, uninstall any you don't recognize, and then turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
