I do not see any of the usual files associated with the Search Marquis Malware in your screen shots. After removing Norton using the above link, check for Extensions installed at Safari > Settings > Extensions.

If nothing is found in there, then I recommend running EtreCheck and post the report using the Additional Text option when posting. John Galt is the master on the Search Marquis malware and you may have come across his article, but I will post it here as well.

Hi there!


To remove installed malware on your Mac, you can use Malwarebytes for Mac. These resources from Apple may also help:


Also, I see you have Norton Symantec installed. This should be uninstalled. Norton antivirus is known to cause poor system performance and system functions to work incorrectly. Follow these steps to remove it: Remove all Norton programs for Mac using the RemoveNortonMacFiles tool.
