You have adware/malware installed. Use  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac. It may be necessary to run more than one scan.  After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test. If necessary, follow the manual instructions.  Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles.   Malwarebytes uninstall


Search.serachpulse,net uninstall


Also check Safari/Preferences/General to see what your Home Page is set to. If Searchpulse, change it.


Safari Homepage setting greyed out 


Then check System Preferences/Profiles to see if there are any you didn’t install. Delete them.

You are welcome.

I ran my app for disk cleaner 3 times, then checked everything else you sent me and the last part of checking the System Preferences/Profiles had something there that we did not recognize. Figured out how to delete it, and it did so. I then opened Safari again and that search.searchpulse was GONE! YEA!!!!


Thank you for your help.
