So Bing has taken over my search engines so I ran EtreCheck and it tells me what the problem is but not how to remove them.

Uninstall CleanMyMac and MacKeeper by following the developer's instructions to uninstall them. AV and cleaning apps are not needed on a Mac and they usually cause more problems than they solve. Plus they impact system performance.


Also run MalwareBytes to remove the malware and adware on the system as suggested by @Rudegar.


If you still have problems after that, then run EtreCheck again and post the updated report here.
