After removing plugin from safari, rack

I have been working on cleaning up a friend's mac (MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra v10.12.6, Safari v10.1.2) and have encountered a persistent plugin in Safari. Even after removing this plugin, it appears to be constantly setting Safari's homepage as https://rack-search.com , regardless of what I do to change it. Before I managed to seemingly remove the plugin, I used activity monitor to see active processes and found https://rack-search.com listed. After killing the process, it instantly respawned. I managed to stop it from appearing in activity monitor by resetting Safari and deleting some files that appeared to be utilized by the process, however, racksearch.com is still the homepage. What further steps should I take to completely remove the plugin, and gain the ability back to set my homepage?

Edit: Changed URL from https://racksearch.com to https://rack-search.com , the correct URL.

Try both of these utilities.

If you see strange activity in Safari, relaunch it with the Shift key down. If you suspect other malware or adware, download and run these two utilities. Both are safe and run a check only when you launch them (i.e., no background activity to slow down your Mac).

Malwarebytes | Malwarebytes for Mac

I forgot to mention that I scanned the mac with Malwarebytes already. Initially, Malwarebytes detected potentially unwanted programs, but although they were quarantined, the problem persisted. I will try launching Safari with the shift key down, and run etrecheck.
