Searchlee.com takes over my searches

Every time I look something up in the search-bar in Safari it automatically sends me on Searchlee.com. I can not change the search-site.

When I look something up on Google, Bing, ... it also sends me to Searchlee.com.

Can someone help me?

Thanks!

   1. Check for adware.


       Run the latest release of Malwarebytes for Mac to remove malware/adware, if installed on your Mac.

       For instructions: Install Malwarebytes for Mac v4      Uninstall Malwarebytes for Mac

       Click the “Scan Now” button. Once done, quit Malwarebytes for Mac.

       Restart the computer and relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.

       Scan for Malware again.


       Additional steps  if necessary.
