- From the View menu in System Preferences, select Profiles.Note:
- Profiles won't be visible until you have at least one profile installed.
- Select the profile you want to remove, and then press the - (minus) button. Click Remove to remove the profile.

If your browser prefs are locked down, you'll probably find the reason in System Preferences > Profiles.
Remove all profiles you don't recognize, then run something like DetectX to clear out the persistence agents.
There is also free Malwarebytes which may take care of it...
