Safari redirect to search assist website?

[sailormoon]

Hello,

I noticed whenever I enter any URL address in the toolbar, Safari pops up:
(www.loadoages.com) and go straight to (searchassist.verizon.com)..then it disappear.

I haven't found useful articles online about this situation. Any idea?

Hi,

you likely got a malware/adware.

Download and run MalwareBytes

Download and run MalwareBytes

I just did and OMG....
"Threat files detected: 132"!!!

Many with /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.

and a single file under PUP.MPlayerX
/Library/Preferences/org.

Should I delete them all? Kinda scared it might mess up the system?

You can delete them all.

After that, run MB again.

I also suggest you to run Etrecheck and post the output here.
