Just recently, in the past day or so, when I do a search in the search box, all the results get redirected to Bing instead of Google, that I have in my settings as default. I have checked my settings, I even removed Bing from the list, and I still only get Bing results. Even when I go to Google and use their search box on their domain, I get Bing results. I did a virus scan without finding any problems. I'm stumped and don't understand why this happened and nothing I do can detect uncovers why this is happening.

Really irritating when I have to spend my time fixing stuff that is lurking in cyberspace!

Clear cache and history and Create a new profile if the issue keeps appearing

I cleared my cache and history, but that didn't fix the problem. I tried to create a new profile, but that either didn't work or I didn't do it right. Still stuck with this violation of my right to use my computer without being molested by Bing hijacking my search choice!
