Hello Rev. Joe,

Instead of shouting and dropping the F-bomb on us; maybe you'd like to tell us what "Safe Search" you are talking about  ?

There are things like Google Safe Search, but there is also "SafeSeach.net" :

If it's the latter you're talking about :

Please go to Options => Add-ons => Extensions, and if you see anything there that you didn't install yourself; please remove it.

Do the same in Windows Control Panel.

Then run all malware scans that are listed in this article :

If, however, it is something else you are referring to; please let us know.
