Hi All,
I'm at my wits' end here. I've accidentally clicked on a box as Iw as setting up my new Mac and ended up with a malicious extension in chrome with has also affect safari. New browser tabs redirect to the above search sites instead of google.co.uk. I've followed all the steps shown in other guides, but it hasn't fixed it.
So to recap :-
Extension removed and deleted
Chrome/Safari data reset done (as soon as I log back in as me, it all continues)
MalwareBytes Premium paid for and run. Malicious files removed
Plist removed from the safari library to reset preferences
MCafee and MalwareBytes give all clear
And still-I'm unable to change the home page setting for my safari or prevent chrome from loading the site in the first place, despite google.co.uk being set as the homepage in preferences.
