Homepage of safari is locked and unable to change it

To add information to the thread, I have the same problem as Gobkittipos. I've also tried all you have proposed and I've even reinstalled Mac OS X Sierra (without loosing any data and apps) and the Homepage options keeps freezed.

Malware anti malware does not detect anything more and even Avast does not detect anything.

federico! Thank you so much!! It works!

Most of solution online seems to be for situation in PC or several years ago.

AND some of the step by step "solution" online is fake and try to lead user to download more malware! (like suggesting reader to click some link to download.

I've uninstall unauthorized recently-installed applications and use CleanMyMac to clean the leftover too. However, the application does not notice the existence of "Profile" in System Preference which generate the abnormal plist for Safari.

It's so great to see a workable solution from you!

That is right, those tricky programs to "clean" your mac are a headache... also I think a complete new "Profile" icon on the System Preferences must be nothing friendly... I don´t now exactly what consequences could bring but it is definitely a fissure in the OSx.

The only way it worked for me to find the solution it was manually way.

I´m very glad to help you guys on my first participation in the forum!

I did same as u mention FEDERICO

but every-time I restart my iMAC - it going back to same problem

[Searchpage - Homepage of safari is locked and unable to change it]

So I have to - Go to system preferences / profile and delete the profile... its keep on repeating

Is there any permanent solution to get-rid this problem with SEARCHPAGE

Cheers

I installed it and scanned my system and deleted all the suggested things

but still... when I restarts I see the same

I feel there is something with this code - how to edit or delete it permanently

Works for me too after a tricky "search page" which became my homepage and greyed out the preference box in safari.
