1. Disable Extensions and test.


Safari > Preferences > Extensions

Select and disable all extensions and test.

Enable Extensions one by one and test.

To uninstall any extension, select it and click the “Uninstall” button.


2. Safari > Preferences > Search > Search engine:

Select your preferred search engine



3. Visit the site you want it be the Home page


Safari > Preferences > General > Homepage

Click the button “Set to Current Page” button.


4. If this does’t help:


Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac to remove adware.

Once done, quit Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
