I was prompted, about a week ago, to update Flash Player.
I thought it was legitimate. Once I did that I found out that Safari had been replaced by something called "anysearchmanager.com". I'm pretty sure I uninstalled anysearchmanager, but .....
- How do I get Safari back? Every time I click on Safari I still get this anysearchmanager as my search engine.
- What anti-virus software does Apple recommend?
No AV product for Mac has been found to be much more than useless and in many cases disruptive and obtrusive. For OS X avoid them, at this time they do nothing but cause problems.

if you think your system has malware or adware I suggest you use

flash should only ever be downloaded from Adobe.com, there is no exception to this. If you are going to sites that offer paid content for free you can expect the majority of flash install prompts to be scam trying to get you to facilitate the install of malware for them. At all cost; avoid these types of sites.
Try going to Safari/Preferences/Extensions and disable all extensions. Quit Safari, reopen, and see if the website will now load. If so, enable extensions one or two at a time until you find which extension is causing the problem.
Please do not download any uninstall tools from these pages. Use the manual instructions.
