safari redirecting to bing

Safari has started redirecting to bing and I can't find the source to delete it. My browser bar shows: prisearches1251-1.akamaihd.net followed by lots of additional characters. Can't find anything about this either. Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

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
