🚨 Mac Browser Keeps Redirecting? You Might Have Search Marquis! 🚨

Hey Iris community! 👋 If your Mac is sending searches through searchmarquis.com or random Bing pages you never set up — your browser has been hijacked. And no, just changing your search engine back won't help. It keeps coming back! 😤🔁
🧊 The redirect is just the surface. The real problem hides in:
🔴 A suspicious browser extension 🔴 A hidden configuration profile 🔴 A login item relaunching it at every startup 🔴 A bundled app still sitting in your system
✅ Fix It In These Steps:
1️⃣ Login Items Apple menu → System Settings → General → Login Items → remove anything suspicious 👀
2️⃣ Configuration Profiles ⚠️ Don't skip this! System Settings → General → Device Management → delete unknown profiles. This is exactly why it keeps coming back after every "fix"! 🗑️
3️⃣ Suspicious Apps Finder → Applications → trash anything unfamiliar added recently 🚮
4️⃣ Browser Extensions Clean both Safari AND Chrome separately 🧹 Don't do just one!
5️⃣ Reset Search Settings Set your preferred search engine back in both browsers 🔧
6️⃣ Restart & Test 🔄 Full restart — then test both browsers with a real search
7️⃣ Still happening? Run a trusted anti-malware scan 🔬
