Mac browser hijacker removal Looks like my mac has been infected with browser hijacker (Safe Finder) in safari and chrome (those are the two that I generally use). Primarily, I use google.com search engine. Even in a google search, I am redirected to yahoo search and looks like "Searchengdetection.com" is being used. I did all the preference reset in both Safari and Chrome. In Chrome, I see that I cannot remove the search bar (screen shot attached) I have SEP running on my mac but that doesnt seem to be doing it. Upon an internet search, I see a lot of recommendations to run different "mamlware cleaner" programs. I am very wary of all these programs. Experts of the community- please suggest a malware/adware/browser hijacker cleaner that is safe to use. Is there anything apple recommended?

Download and run the free version of Malwarebytes. It was developed by a long time contributor to these forums and a highly respected member of the computer security community. That should take car of the adware.
