Can't delete Bing as search engine in Safari

The search engine of Safari has changed to Bing and now I cannot change it back. When I try Safari > Preferences > Search, and select Google, it just changes to Bing automatically. I have also looked in the Applications folder and I don't find any suspicious programs. I have deleted all extensions from Safari, too. What else can I do?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), macOS High Sierra (10.13.6), null

Download this program which was written by Thomas Reed, a long time poster. The program will search for malware/adware The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. There is no reason to leave it installed once troubleshooting is finished. The free version doesn't update itself. If you need it again, you can download it again.
