These two useful items often recommended in Apple support communities
and these both were created by active participants in these communities.
Fairly good removal can be had by use of free version, here:
https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/
This other item can remove malware, adware; & create a report to share info.
Other items such as browser redirects, extension add-ons, and stuff that may
remain troublesome. ~ These items above tools sometimes can't resolve, have
their own removal methods; some are quite good, most require some effort.
