Hello,
I am using Google Chrome on an ASUS PC. However, since yesterday, every time I search on Google, after a few seconds I find myself redirected, against my will, to Bing!
Of course, I checked the settings in Chrome, but Google was already set as my default search engine. I deleted all the others, which did not solve my problem.
Furthermore, I have read here and there that this phenomenon could be caused by spyware, but I do not know which one. Indeed, none of the programs installed on my PC have the names of the software mentioned in these articles that are supposed to cause this kind of nuisance. I have also scanned my PC with BitDefender and Malwarebytes, but neither of these programs detected any threats. Yet, every time I search on Google, I consistently end up on that cursed Bing!
Therefore, the help of an expert would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello, Panth33ra,
Thank you very much for including this link in your post. Indeed, when I tried to access this page through Google settings, the malware was automatically redirecting me to Bing! Therefore, I was unable to read it.
I found the solution to my problem: it was indeed malware. I restored the default settings and everything is back to normal.
