I have a problem with Safari. Even though I went to the preferences and removed the strange search engine such as anysearch etc. They keep on coming back. I go the the google page and it looks legit but it searches on bing or yahoo not google. Also, to get my favorite sites and bookmarks I always have to go to the tab and check the box. It did not use to happen. It's like Safari is all mixed up.
What can I do?

Possible that you unintentionally download a malicious extension causing your Safari browser to be redirected to that website.
To remove this, you can check your System Preferences if there is a created Profile. If you don't remember setting up any profiles for your mac, we would advise to remove these created profile. Just click Profiles and it will open the list of configuration then you may delete all of them. After removing all the configuration profile, it will ask you for your password to allow the changes. Then please try to restart your mac. After the restart, check your Safari's preferences if you can now modify its default settings and check if the issue still exists.
