Bing redirect malware

Recently clicked on Flash installer which did not download but since has Bing redirect on my search engine - Safari. Flash is not shown in Apps and there are no extensions. I have used Mac Cleaner which shows no problems but Bing redirect malware is still there. What do I do?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.14
