Whenever I try to search something on safari, the search engine is "search marquis" and when I type something in, it brings me to bing. I just got my computer yesterday and have not changed anything on my safari settings.

Whenever I try to open a new tab in safari, the website is "search marquis" and when I type something in such as a website, it brings me to a bing search engine rather than google. I just got my computer yesterday and have not changed anything on my safari settings. In my safari settings it says that the search engine is Google but when I search, the engine seems to be bing. How do I fix this??

You have adware/malware installed. Use  Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac. It may be necessary to run more than one scan. After scanning a couple of times, restart the computer and test. If necessary, follow the manual instructions.  Do not download any other programs that are listed in the articles.

Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions, uninstall any you don't recognize, and then turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
