Q: how to get rid of "time search now" on safari?
I downloaded an update of Adobe Flash and evidently some bad stuff was included. An Apple tech helped me get rid of most of the junk, but Safari still opens with Yahoo's "Time Search Now." How do I get rid of that?
Thanks!

1. Disable Extensions and test.

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.
