Malware in Mac

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi I need Help,

Malware always detected and deleted in my Mac. However, I believe there is a malware that keeps on popping up or is hidden because I cannot change my browser and is always defaulted with safe finder.

The default browser in my mac which cannot be edited is: lkysearchds9985-a.akamaihd.net

Please help as i don't want to resort to re-format my mac.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Member,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

From what I can assume is that you are facing an issue with browser hijacker though I cannot confirm it.

Hello @djromil ,

Change your home page in Safari on Mac:

In the Safari app on your Mac, choose Safari > Preferences, then click General.
In the Homepage field, enter a web page address. To simply use the web page you're currently viewing, click Set to Current Page.
Choose when your homepage is shown.

Change your home page in Chrome Browser:

On your computer, open Chrome.
At the top right, click More .
Select Settings.
Under "Appearance," check the box Show Home button.
Below "Show Home button," click Change to choose your homepage.

Thanks & Regards,

I am having this same problem. Something continues to hijack my Chrome browser and replace the new tab search engine with Safe Finder, a known malicious tool. If I use BitDefender and do a scan, it will remove it, but it keeps coming back. What am I doing wrong?
