Chrome searching Yahoo instead of Google (defaulted)

This is so strange. I'm not computer illiterate, just throwing out there. I know my way around settings and whatnot.

So I'm using Google Chrome. I want to have it set where when I type something in the top bar (URL bar) it will search using Google (if I didn't type in a web address). Well when I search something up there, the search result URL has "https://search.yahoo.com/......" instead of Google. Then when I go to Google.com and attempt to do a google search, once again the result will be "https://search.yahoo.com/....". As far as I know, Yahoo didn't buy out Google.

So when I go to my Chrome settings, "Search engine used in the address bar" is set to Google. Under "Manage search engines" the only result I left is Google and it is set to "default". Below that in my settings it says "Google Chrome is your default browser" (not that this is really irrelevant).

I'm thinking this has to be some sort of adware or something. I'm unsure what I need to do to fix this issue. I hate Yahoo so this is really a peeve. Thanks for your time.
