Safari keeps going to Yahoo search engine instead of Google search

Thank you! This helped me as well!

thank you! neither my dad (emeritus prof of comp sci) nor my brother (it project manager) could figure it out ... am now sorted.

After about a year i have finally figured out how to solve this malware issue. here are the steps :

-GO TO : SAFARI>PREFERENCES>ADVANCED>PROXIES>CHANGE SETTINGS> THEN UNCHECK ALL BOXES, MAKE SURE NONE ARE CHECKED THEN APPLY.

-Also make sure u clear caches and history and downloads you dont recognize or need.

-Check extensions in safari>preferences>extensions and make sure all are deleted.

-Clear all windows and go to ur screen saver page, click "go" at top bar>go to folder> type ~/Library/ > click on folder that says "caches" and clear everything inside it, trash it all.

-Then go to "macintosh" under "devices" in side bar > click library> click cache>trash everything in the folder. Now empty ur trash. It should be gone after all these steps and ur mac should run a lot faster and have a lot more storage space, caches in the library take up an amazing amount of storage.

-You can also click on ur wifi>open network preferences>click on wifi>click on "-" button on the bottom>click "+" button > select "wifi">"apply"

Hey guys I’m having the same problem I noticed you have to pay to use the malware anti-malware so I don’t know what to do now

Malwarebytes usually has a free 7 day trial. No?

Thank you the Malwarebytes trial worked. However, I was surprised it was not on the Apple App store. Does that mean it is not recommended by Apple?
