Bing hijacked my Safari

Safari search has recently being redirected automatically to Bing on my MacBook. I have followed various instructions to get rid of the redirect including running Combo Cleaner, but to no avail. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you

You have adware/malware installed. Use  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test. If necessary, follow the manual instructions.  Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles.   Malwarebytes uninstall
