    I've been having a problem within the past week or so where sometimes when I perform a google search (in the chrome browser), the results page will redirect to Bing. First it will display the google results, then it will flash and reload as the bing results page. It only does that about 50% of the time, as other times it will flash, but not fully load and still remain on the google page. I've tried running all of my usual scans to remove the issue (malwarebytes, adwcleaner, spybotS&D) but nothing seems to touch it. Has anyone else had a similar redirect and know of a scanner that properly removes it?

    Have you checked your settings in Chrome? Default search engine?

    Yes, default search engine is currently set to google, and always has been.

    Please disregard, I found the issue. It was tied into an extension. Uninstalling all extensions I didn't recognize as something I use solved the problem.
