Yes, there are many anti-malware solutions that can usually take care of most infections. For Macs, we recommend using Combo Cleaner, although there are many other reputable anti-virus applications that can clean the machine just as well. For example, Malwarebytes for Mac can be one of the best solutions, as it focuses on potentially unwanted applications and issues that they cause (redirect tendencies, ads, browser slowdowns, etc.)
Nevertheless, keep in mind that detection and removal success depends n various factors - there is no security software that would be able to tackle all malware.
That being said, some potentially unwanted apps that cause redirects to change the web browser settings, which sometimes cannot be reverted with anti-malware software. Therefore, we suggest resetting Safari, Google Chrome, or another browser after a scan in case the redirect tendencies do not disappear.
To find out detailed instructions on how to reset your browsers, please visit the following articles which also include a video guide:
1. Google Chrome
2. Safari
3. Mozilla Firefox
