safari redirect

For years i have used safari and google has been my main browser but one day when i was using it, it switched to bing after I searched something. I went to google but a few seconds later it searched it on bing. No matter what I do it still happens. I have tried many things and am now getting frustrated and help is appreciated. TIA!

You have adware/malware installed. Use  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test. If necessary, follow the manual instructions.  Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles.   Malwarebytes uninstall
