Safe search Google activated by itself

Hello. I don’t understand. One fine day, SafeSearch turned on by itself on Google. Since then, I can’t make any adult searches. And when I try to follow the procedure to disable SafeSearch, it doesn’t work. No matter how many times I uncheck the "enable SafeSearch" option and save, SafeSearch remains active.
Have I been hacked???

    Hello,

    it catches you like that, you downloaded something you shouldn't have (often free Bundles), hard to escape, it's quite sneaky....

    Can you do this:

    1) ZHP cleaner from this link: https://nicolascoolman.eu

    Do a scan and a cleanup....

    2) ADWcleaner, here: https://nicolascoolman.eu

    Again, scan and cleanup and of course restart.

    Can you also provide the reports, please?

    3) Also install MBAM in its free version and do a scan, quarantine what it finds: https://telecharger.malekal.com/download/malwarebytes-anti-malware-version-gratuite/

    You have a tutorial here: https://www.malekal.com/tutoriel-malwarebyte-anti-malware/

    Can you also provide the quarantine report, please?

      But I'm talking about Google's SafeSearch function. Not a "fake" SafeSearch search engine that redirects to ad sites.

      Are we talking about the same thing?

      Yes!!! And what worries me is that he really activated it all by himself! How is that possible?
      And since then, it's impossible to disable it. At least, when I uncheck "activate safe search," which is pre-checked, it tells me that it's saved, but in fact, we notice at the next Google search that the safe search filter is still active.
