safari search problem

I am on Safari 8.07. Recently i have been getting a Yahoo page after a Google page. My search engine in Safari preferences is Google.

Here ids an example:

key in Amazon prime reviews in the Safari search window.

I get a nice google page that shows "8 reasons why Amazon prime is Worth $99.00

instead of going to that page I get a Yahoo page with a lot of options to choose again.

Am I doing something wrong?

Search engine re directs are usually due to malware.


Download and run Malwarebyyes Anti-Malware for Mac formerly known as AdwareMedic. It's free.


Make sure Mac App Store and identified developers is selected in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General


if you would rather not download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, you can remove the malware manually following the instructions here > Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support
