When I do a Google search, it automatically redirects to Bing. I have Google set as my default search engine in Preferences. I understand this might be caused by a virus. Is there an easy way to solve this?

Malwarebytes is one of two programs that are often recommended by posters to use as a tool for adware/malware. It was developed Thomas R, a long time poster. I have read posts that stated that Apple Support has recommended it for adware/malware problems. I have downloaded it and run it without any problems.
You can follow the manual instructions. Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles.

Remove or disable any browser extensions you don't recognize, or click here and run the tool.

Was hoping for a solution that does not involve a download, as that is what caused the problem in the first place.
