I used this article on Search Encrypt's website and it got rid of the browser extension.
This article on Medium was also helpful and a little more up to date.
Hopefully these help.
I found this unwanted app had become the default search engine for Firefox, the default browser on my iMac. I went to Firefox/Preferences/Search and deleted it, then went to Tools/Add-ons and removed it from there. Seems to have worked. It did not appear to have infected my copy of the Safari browser.
Try running a scan with Malwarebytes: http://malwarebytes.org/mac. What you describe sounds like adware.
