Safari keeps switching from Google search to bing

Why would my Mac keep switching from Google search over to Bing on its own?

I'm so confused on why this is happening.

You may have Bing redirect malware. Try running Malwarebytes.

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.

Please restart in Safe Mode per Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support and then retest. It may take up to 10 minutes for the computer to restart in Safe Mode so please be patient.
