Hi,

Some malware has infected my MacBook. When I search for something in Safari, it will divert to Yahoo, via www.my-search.com

I've managed to fix this in Chrome and Firefox (simple enough to remove from the Preferences menu) but not in Safari. I've even reinstalled OSX. Any tips?

Thanks.

* EDIT **

Installed Malwarebytes and that sorted it.
