1. Finder > Applications


If you find an application with a name similar to Safe Finder,

right click on it and choose “Move To Trash”.


2. 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.


3. Safari > Preferences > Search > Search engine:

Select your preferred search engine.


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

Safari > Preferences > General > Homepage

Click the button “Set to Current Page” button.


5. If this does’t help:

Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac to remove adware.

Download, install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button to remove adware.

Once done, quit Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
