Google Search is weird

Problem:

My google search seems to be limited to only searching for "internet" and "images". I don't get the other options.

The problem occurs when using both google.com and the omnibox with google as search engine.

The same thing happens when using google in internet explorer, but doesn't seem to happen when using Firefox.

 

I've attached a picture showing what it looks like.

 

Things i've tried so far:

I've tried to clear browserdata in google chrome.

I've reset settings in google chrome.

I've fully scanned my computer.

 

Edit:

So i've been suggested to do the following:

Use google.com instead

Disable Extension

 

However the problem still occurs

Have you tried going to the English Google? (Set your language on the bottom of the page) and have you tried searching without the add ons?

(I know you said it doesn't work in IE too)

Disable all extensions and try again, maybe that will do it.

I don't always have time to study, but when I do, I don't.

Unfortunatly the problem still occurs even when using google.com -  After searching on google.com it changes to google.dk

I tried using google.com instead with no change

There doesn't seem to be an option to change language on the bottom of the page

And it's still the same result with the extensions turned off

You can select the 'Languages' tab on the left (of course, in Danish that would be) and change that to English (US or UK, doesnt really matter) and see if it works like that.

It happens only in Chrome?

Have you cleared the cookies?

Same, happens to me for all browsers. A temporary fix is to use google.com/search but that sometimes doesn't work either but worth trying

i think some adware program is controlling what you are searching but i don't know

 

but if this is adware then:

 

Download and run:
ADWCleaner
Adware-removal-rool
Combofix
Hitmanpro
RogueKiller
MSE
Malwarebytes
and Spybot S&D 1.6.2

Run them all as an admin.

Try deleting all your cookies and resetting chrome or reinstalling. If that doesn't work, just use Firefox or switch to bing.
