I cannot change the Safari homepage

Hello, ever since my latest update I suddenly can't change my default homepage in the Safari preferences anymore. When I fill the box with another url like http.....google for instance the address immediately changes back to www.apple.com. Very annoying.

I already tried many suggestions given in previous questions about this subject ( deleting the .plist etc.) but to no avail.

Anyone?

osx El Capitan Safari 11.0.2

OBS,iMac (21.5-inch Late 2009), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

I would uninstall Intego. It tends to interfere with the computer's operation while providing minimal to no benefit unless you work with Windows files.


Intego Uninstall

com.f-secure.fsmac.licensetool.plist (F-Secure Corporation - installed 2017-12-08) [Lookup]


Try uninstalling the above using the Developer's uninstall instructions.
