Bing redirect virus on my macbook air

I have tried everything and watched every single youtube video about getting rid of the bing redirect virus on my macbook. I have no weird apps installed in my application folder and that is what every video is talking about. I usually use chrome so I went to the settings there and made sure that my default web browser was google chrome, it was. Every time I open up chrome to search something it re-directs to Bing and no offense to Bing but I hate you!! Someone please heeeelp! If I reset my mac to factory settings will it get rid of it? Really trying to avoid taking it to the Apple store and nothing I am doing is working.

MacBook Air 13", OS X 10.11

Go to settings in Chrome and select Manage Search Engines, choose the one you want to use, Google is the default.
