Google search switches to Bing search

[bing-hijacker]

As soon as I enter a search term in the Chrome browser, about 3 URLs appear in a row in the browser field and then search results with Bing appear.
The 3 URLs come so quickly that I can't see what they are called.
This seems to be a hijacker?
Malwarebytes can't remove something like that, unfortunately.
 
So I wasted my time in vain. I will remove it from the PC again and seek a money refund.

Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the hijacker?

Hello  @bing-hijacker  and 

 

My name is MKDB and I will assist you.

 

 

Let's keep these principles as we proceed. Make sure to read the entire post below first.

• Please follow the steps in the given order and post back the log files.
• Please attach all log files into your post.
• Before we start, please make sure that you have an external backup, not connected to this system, of all private data.
• Only run the tools I guide you to. Please don't run any other scans, download, install or uninstall any programs while I'm working with you.
• As English is not my native language, please do not use slang or idioms. It may be hard for me to understand.
• If you do not respond within 4 days, your topic will be closed.
• Cracked or hacked or pirated programs are not only illegal, but also will make a computer a malware victim. Having such programs installed, is the easiest way to get infected. It is the leading cause of ransomware encryptions. It is at times also a big source of current trojan infections. If you are running any kin of illegal software on your system, please uninstall them now, before we start the cleaning procedure.

 

 

I would like you to run the following 3 scans in order to help you.

Thank you in advance!
