I have also the same problem. If I search in Google, and click on a search result. I don't go to the URL of the search result, but to Bing, in the URL it says 'search.searchbenny.com'
How do you remove this? I have a Mac and use Safari

I had the same problem and just fixed it.
it was an extension named "fast search" in the Safari > Preferences > Extensions section. I unistalled it and the problem was solved!
Before that though i moved to trash all the suspicious files from the Finder > Applications section as they were described from the wildthing84 below.
hope i helped
