AVG Secure Search = currently as default

Make default will change the search engine to Google.

X will delete the highlighted option.

Closing the tab will save any changes made.

Below the Default search options are other listed search engines from recently visited web sites.

When you first install Chrome, you'll be prompted to chose your search engine.

I never changed my default engine, I;m using Google Search.
@Earth ... What search engine is AVG Secure Search using?

Chrome does ask what you want to use, but some software can/will hijack these settings without warning.

Good news, AVG Secure Search uses Google. As seen here too.
