Search Marquis / Search Baron Problem - Help Please!

Hello,

I've been dealing with the Search Marquis / Search Baron malware and need some help. I found John Galt's threads to be really helpful and, following his instructions, was able to stop the issue on Safari but unfortunately not for Chrome.

Please find screenshots, below per John's thread, in addition to the "~/Library/Application Support" folder: (Removing "Search Marquis" / "Search Baron… - Apple Community).

Any help resolving this issue on Chrome would be appreciated. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12

Try this to remove the search marquis from your chrome extensions

Open Google Chrome.
Go to Chrome > Preferences > Search engine.
Select Manage search engines and site search.
Under Search engines, choose a search engine to use as your default.
Remove other search engines you are unfamiliar of or do not use.

Search Marquis is an adware variant so MalwareBytes, which you seem to have, should evict it. Is your version for MalwareBytes up to date?

If this persist in Chrome only, I would contact Google support. It's their browser.

Thanks but unfortunately that doesn't make a difference - I still end-up with the Bing browser. I think your advice would've worked if I didn't have Malware (i.e, Search Marquis or Search Baron).
