Search button launches browser in WP 10?

Search button launches browser

I have a problem when pressing the search button. When I press the search button it launches the browser and goes straight to Google and in the search area reads "{searchTerms}". I have the latest version of WP 10 (insider fast). According to one site I found it could be virus?

Relevant:

Actually though, is Google set as your default search engine? Maybe Cortana isn't available to your current region/language/speech setting combination.

Same here. Looking at the search engines set: Bing.com is set as default, 2 google sites appear as alternatives. After removing these google sites and again pressing the search button, these 2 google sites reappear in the alternatives list.

Problem solved! After a hard reset (to factory settings) the search button does what it is supposed to do.
