Problems with my search engine

HI lately when ever I do a search on the internet initially for a split second I get the search through Google which is my selected search engine. Then the search changes to Bing which I do NOT want.


I have checked my preferences and they all show Google so how do I remove the Bing search?

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
