Remove Browser Hijacker SearchPulse I've just opened up Safari and the home page has changed to 'SearchPulse.net'. I've been infiltrated by Malware before from irresponsibly downloading flash player without checking the legitimacy. However I haven't downloaded any software for months and always double check it's legitimacy after learning the hard way. I can't understand where this malware has come from. More to the point, I can't get rid of it? Has anyone else had this issue who would be able to help me remove it? I've gone onto activity monitor and found a few culprits, but i don't know how to delete them. Some suspicious ones are 'Artemissearchdeamon' 'launchd' 'productevent'. Theers in advance for any help.
