how to remove safesearch

SafeSearch is a browser hijacker that usually is installed when you install some third-party software and do not pay attention to pre-checked options during the installation process.  If you install third-party software, you should always use the option for a "custom" install (if that's available) and pay close attention to any pre-checked selections.

See the directions here:  https://www.2-spyware.com/remove-safesearch.html

Follow the directions, but do not click any of the green "Remove it now" buttons.  I do, however, suggest that you download, install, and run the free trial of Malwarebytes:  https://www.malwarebytes.com/    If you choose to keep this program but not pay for it, after the 14-day trial ends, Malwarebytes reverts to an on-demand only scanner rather than a real-time antimalware program.
