Help!

I am running internet explorer 11 on windows 7 home premium x64, and my start page WILL NOT change. A virus page, URL: SafeSear.ch, has taken over! I have tried many different things to remove it. I have gone into the registry under IE and have changed the start page with no luck. I reset Internet Explorer. I looked in 'processes' in task manager. I looked in control panel under programs. I run advanced SystemCare Ultimate 7. No luck with that either. I need to get it off soon, as it could get worse. Please help.

. Somebody turned on SafeSearch.
It's like a parent control for web searching.
I would confide with the parents in the home.

SafeSearch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Safe Search for Kids. The Google safe search engine for kids with friendly search.

I highly recommend not using Advanced System Care by IoBit.
Many times it is used the only cure is a Clean Install.

Nobody has installed SafeSear.ch onto my computer. It installed itself somehow, as I am the only one who uses the computer, and I did not install it. My homepage is google, but when I launch internet explorer, it goes to Safesearch. But okay if somehow it did get turned on, how do I turn it off?

I do run Advanced SystemCare Ultimate 7 periodically, but I saw you said not to. It does a great job, but cannot find the Safesearch Trojan virus. I will try those two suggested anti-virus programs. Have any of you had Safesearch infections?

If you want to remove SafeSearch, read the information in this post. Using prevention tools is a very good idea, but you already have an identified problem with detailed instructions on how to remove it.

Here is the information on how to remove SafeSearch;

Okay, so I ran a scan on both programs. MSE found nothing. MalwareBytes found 10 malicious files, and said it had fixed them. I restarted my PC, ran another scan on malware bytes and it found nothing. So I went to open internet explorer, which still had a padlock symbol in the task bar, and it went right back to Safesearch. I have NO IDEA what to do now. I have tried everything, and I really don't think downloading yet another anti- virus is going to help. No idea what to do.
