Bing redirect from google chrome

I have searched through all feeds and followed everything that should fix the problem. I have installed the Malwarebytes and conducted a scan, this worked the first time but now redirects to bing again.

I have run the scan a few times and there is no other issues. Is there another way to get rid of this please.

Hi, you may try to follow the following steps to manually remove malware on your MAC:

a. Go to the Apple menu → System Preferences

b. Choose the Users & Groups section.

c. Make sure your username is highlighted. Open Login Items tab.

d. Choose any recently-added suspicious applications and use the "-" or minus sign to disable all the suspicious apps.

e. Restart your Mac for the changes to take place.
