Here's how I solved it.
- I did all of the things mentioned above in Terminal with the six command lines. That still didn't work.
- I called Apple Support and they had me follow these steps:
- Go to System Preferences
- Click on Profiles
- Delete the profiles (there was one that the virus created for Safari and another for Chrome)
- Reopen Browsers and the problem is solved.
I'm not sure this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.
Good luck!

THANKS
I've tried this 3 times and it's having no effect :( I tried one line at a time, and then copying the whole thing at once. It says something isn't found so no defaults changed.
Make sure you quit Google. I just don't know if you need to reload policies after running the terminal commands. Do you?
You are brilliant! I have tried EVERY OTHER SUGGESTION - nothing worked but this! Thank you!
This really worked well! Thank you!
huh?
Think you misunderstood. I am not having an issue, I was responding to the person saying that a T2 Apple Support Advisor could not help with their Google browser.
You are a life saver! Before this I tried every safety software but those didn't work at all! Thank you!
I tried everything but this only thankfully worked thank you so much you don't know how much you helped others by posting this
