Why is safari using Bing instead of Google as I have it set in preferences
I have my preferences set as shown. When I start a search, Safari gets transferred to Bing. I am not happy. I figure it must be something that Microsoft Office has done, but I cannot find any setting to correct.
As far as I know, I haven't changed anything.

I knew it!! Had a feeling it was Malware. I did have the App, but I deleted it before upgrading, and then missed it on the list to reinstall.
I only needed the first additional step, this also got rid of that terrible drop down favourites, Yessss!
A big thank you, appreciate the quick response
