How to get rid of kreberisec malware?

how do i get rid of kreberisec.com malware from my mac pro? I just upgraded to macOC Catalina and it keeps earning me that I have kreberisec. I tried search and find functions, then deleted all files I could find and emptied the trash. However it is still the search engine on google chrome and I can't get rid of it. Thanks!

See if you have unknown Profiles.

To remove a configuration profile in macOS:

From the Apple menu, select System Preferences....
From the View menu in System Preferences, select Profiles.Note:
Profiles won't be visible until you have at least one profile installed.
Select the profile you want to remove, and then press the - (minus) button. Click Remove to remove the profile.

If your browser prefs are locked down, you'll probably find the reason in System Preferences > Profiles.

The free Malwarebytes may take care of it...

Or...

EtreCheck is a simple little diagnostic tool to display the important details of your system configuration and allow you to copy that information to the Clipboard. It is meant to be used with Apple Support Communities to help people help you with your Mac. It will not display any personal info.

Pastebin is a good place to paste the whole report if you capture the URL while there…

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck. In a Reply before you click post, look for this to add longer texts..
