How to remove searchpage.com from safari?

Hello There,

I've been experiencing this for weeks!! And I just resolved this today.

Something you need to know that somehow it created a Profiles in your mac do grey them out.

Heres what you need to do:

1. Open Your Settings -> Profiles; check if there is a Profile (Searchpage) available

2. Remove the profile

Thats it!!!

Hope it help.

Thanks.

1. Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac to remove adware/malware.

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

Once done, quit Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Recently "Profile" created by third party applications on System Preferences was creating such a problem.

Excuse me, but disabling extensions from Safari does not help. Scanning with Malwarebytes for Mac does not help either. Here is the manual and totally free solution.

SearchPage.com removal from Safari (Mac). - YouTube

I can see number of tricks but none of them worked.

I had recently removed that stupid search page from my browser. Follow the instructions.

1. Quit safari browser.

2. Open system preferences icon on your dock.

3. now you will see "PROFILES" icon in the list (grey color.)

4. click open that icon and remove the profile.

5. Now, open safari and select preferences from top and change yours home page to google.

That worked like a charm. I searched and performed various troubleshooting steps but of no use. This one worked beautifully. Now I am able to change my homepage. relaxed. Thank you very much for saving my energy

Homepage of safari is locked and unable to change it

Perfectly working solution. Thanks for that

Thanks for the gr8 tips, solved my problem!!!
