Google redirecting to Bing

Hi. Google (not Google Chrome) has been redirecting to Bing for a while and doing online research and everyone said it was because of a malware. They suggested I installed security software, which I did-Bitdefender. Even after running a full scan it still redirects. Can someone please help?

  • I have this problem (redirecting searches to Bing instead of Google) on my Android phone: the advice given to ashleighh2o doesn't help - it's all about what to do on a computer. I have Bitdefender on my phone and have run a full scan (twice) with no effect. Advice elsewhere suggests strongly that I have "browser hijacking virus", and that a good antivirus should remove it - but Bitdefender doesn't seem to. Am I doing something wrong? Note: I have checked the default search engine (set to Google); and uninstalled and re-installed both Firefox and Chrome (it happens on both). Any advice?
