I get this error below on Chrome / Safari - whether I search with Gogole or Chrome.

I"ve tried to follow this: Remove Clickserve.dartsearch.net redirect (Virus Removal Guide). amongst others.

Cannot get it to go away. Ran Malwarbytes - no luck.

any ideas

I suggest you reset the router and then configure what is necessary.

Then do the following:
1. Turn off your Mac. Wait at least five minutes before continuing.
2. Turn on the Mac, immediately press Left Shift.
3. Wait until the Desktop loads.
4. Check if you can connect to the sites you need.

If by doing what I suggest you can connect, let us know.

Also, please let me know the contents of the hosts file:
1. Go to Applications - Utilities.
2. Open Terminal.
3. Write:
sudo cat /private/etc/hosts
4. Let me know what does is says.
