Adware Safe Finder removal

I recently removed "Advanced Mac Cleaner" malware, and I think that was successful. However, when I use Safari, I have this "Safe Finder" showing up in my browser. It seems to be slowing me down, and I cannot seem to remove it. In support, I found directions to install the latest El Capitan version, and did that. I have restarted, but still have this "Safe Finder" stuff which I do not want. I'd like help removing it, and finding out what else might have infected my Macbook Pro. Thanks!

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Thank you so so much! I did what you said and it worked so I should be fine right?? I went to the tab of "extensions" and it says I don't have tha safe finder thing there at all? So I don't have it in my computer anymore right?? Or should I check anywhere else?

How do you get rid of this safefinder thing? Got it using adwaremedic cleaner, which has worked for me before.

Thanks in advance.
