SOLVED Safari: prisearches1414-a.akamaihd

[SooTech]

This is like the 5th time I've dealt with this thing. A co-worker downloaded something that had the akamaihd, and now every time they search for something they're re-routed. I've gone through all the steps of removing apps, cache, resetting Safari, going through a billion files and deleting each one, deleting extensions, and changing preferences, but this time the little bugger just won't go away.

Anyone know something I can be missing?

Hello and welcome.

I would try Malwarebytes for Mac. It should remove that malware.

Let us know if that works for you.

Malwarebytes is an excellent application.
