How do I get rid of Safe finder malware on my safari browser?

Safe finder has taken over my browser search engine; clicking on the "Safe finder' logo only invites me to download more malware. How do I get rid of this.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

Yes. A simple, quick and safe way to remove adware and malware is to download and use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Macs. It's was developed by one of the most respected and top contributors in these forums and recommended by nearly all of the top contributors here.


If you would prefer to do it manually follow these instructions from theSafeMac.com site (author of Malwarebytes): Adware Removal Guide
