Hi, Thanks a lot for your assistance!!! I did a Windows Safe mode boot with network support and found that the issue was gone and all search engines were working fine. I also scanned the PC with all anti-malware software and found no hits. I have uninstalled the Bitdefender internet security from my system and installed Kaspersky total security. So far, everything is working normal. However, I’m still a bit concerned if the problem is gone temporarily and I might face the issue maybe in future.
