Hi leen103,

It seems you're having trouble with your search engine and we can help.

Since you're seeing multiple issues with browser hijacking, we recommend using MalwareBytes to remove the offending search problems:

Mac Antivirus | Malwarebytes Antivirus for Mac | Malwarebytes

Let us know if that helps get these removed.

You can set your browser search engine with this afterward:

Change Search preferences in Safari on Mac

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

My nearby.io has gone by just watching some videos but this ca search link sometimes keeps opening when I search something, it sometimes appears and sometimes goes. Are you sure that app you suggested for me is safe, I don't want anymore hijackers or viruses
