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??
Same problem for me - every time I did a google search it redirected to Bing. Ran Malwarebytes and problem solved. Many thanks.
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.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac 10.10 and later
Try how do i get rid of the bing redirect
Mojave has nothing to do with the Bing Redirect. It is usually loaded with some other malware that you downloaded. I would suggest you first try to get rid of it before doing an operating system downgrade.
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... 😟
Hi there im having the same problem before the upgrade i was having no issues at all now all i get is bing i tried reloading Mojave and it seemed to solve the problem but its back again.Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated

Try Malwarebytes again just in case.
Please use the manual uninstall only. Do not download anything from the sites below.
