virus or malware: both safari and chrome had homepage taken over by 'playsearch'

Hi I have tried deleting extensions on the browsers and it did not help.

Does anyone have any suggestions. I ended up uninstalling Safari because Chrome appeared to be cleared after deleting extension, but the malware or whatever it is must still be on my computer.. macbook pro. I downloaded Opera and Tor, but I would really like to use Safari. Any ideas on virus software I could use or how to get rid of this Playsearch?

thanks.

Are you asking about Safari on your iPhone (you've posted in the iPhone forum) or about Safari on your computer?
