It appears that your problem is a serious danger to your data and you
need to fix it smartish.
- How did it get past your virus scanner in the first place?
- What router are you using? Some of them are insecure.
As a temporary measure (you do need to fix this), try using something
like https://duckduckgo.com/ as a search engine. You can either call
it explicitly or change your settings to call it implicitly.
I've been using duckduckgo for several years with no problems. Can't
tell any difference from Google. Mozilla reference caused the switch.

No difference to this hijacker/virus when starting in safe mode. As soon as
google.com is entered it blocks with Capitcha questions which are never
satisfied. I use Kaspersky antivirus and Malwarebytes and Adwcleaner.
Nothing they found and cleaned has helped so far.
Safe mode doesn't reset your prefs. Try it with a brand new profile.

My "research" on the subject indicated the problem could even be a
rootkit. The fact that resetting the router helped for a few minutes
leads me to suspect that the problem may not even be on the PC. That is
why I asked what the router was.
