I followed the instructions given by you w.r.t removing anysearch and downloaded Malwarebytes as well. Now, the search I make on Google is not being redirected to Yahoo but I am facing difficulty in changing the homepage of my safari. I am not able to change options for homepage in Safari >Preferences > General. By default, the homepage has been set to ikysearch. Please help. Thanks in advance.

- Enter your desired home page in the “Homepage” field, but DO NOT press return!
- At the top of the window, click any of the other icons (eg, Tabs, AutoFill, etc).
- You may see a prompt asking for confirmation for changing the home page. If so, confirm.
- Switch back to the General page and check to make sure the home page has been changed.
