Questsearch Pop UP

After updating to the latest software tonight, March 24, 2020, I have a pop up "Do you want the application "questsearch" to accept incoming network connections? I have followed various

instructions online and nothing is working, clearing cache, history, restarting safari, altering firewall settings. Please help.

Re-launch Safari with Shift key down, then delete History and Website Data from Safari preferences.

 

If the adware returns anyway, download and run the FREE version of Malwarebytes. You don’t need the paid version.

Malwarebytes | Malwarebytes for Mac


And/or download and run EtreCheck. It’s free, safe and only runs when you launch it, so it doesn’t slow down your Mac.
