I’d start by restoring the default prefs. If that’s not it, then delete his Safari prefs and try making them anew. After that, maybe use an anti-malware app and scan the system for no-good nicks. I use the free one from Malwarebytes (Anti-Malware For Mac). Just a couple of suggestions, but I hope this helps.
