I suspect you have installed adware/malware. Try running this trusted utility https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/

Whenever I try to search something on safari, the search engine is "search marquis" and when I type something in, it brings me to bing. I just got my computer yesterday and have not changed anything on my safari settings. Whenever I try to open a new tab in safari, the website is "search marquis" and when I type something in such as a website, it brings me to a bing search engine rather than google. I just got my computer yesterday and have not changed anything on my safari settings. In my safari settings it says that the search engine is Google but when I search, the engine seems to be bing. How do I fix this??

Bing takes over as my search engine Every time I do a search, bing becomes my search engine. I have tried all sorts of things suggested on the internet, including the Apple support sites, and I still can't get rid of this problem. I have a feeling this is related to some other problems I have been having, e.g., Apple Mail frequently disconnects from my email accounts, and my Apple mouse keeps getting disconnected. I'm not sure all this related to the 'bing' problem but these things were not happening before. Would be grateful for any help to resolve this problem. Thanks in advance Javed Shakoor
