Bing has hijacked my search engine.

Upgraded to Mojave, now Bing has hijacked my search engine. I've already gone to Safari > Preferences > Search Engine and selected Google. Whenever I go to Google to search, I am redirected to Bing. I hate Bing and want it gone! Is it possible to get rid of Mojave??

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.

Okay, thanks Allan! I only thought it was the upgrade since I first noticed my system redirecting to Bing after that. Now, do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of the Bing redirect? I've looked throughout my system, but can't locate it. I've been working on this for 3 days, I'm very frustrated... 😟
