Search Engine used in address bar is disabled and manage search engines is not letting you select any other search engines not even google.com

Reported by chunduru...@gmail.com, Jan 14 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to settings
2. Manage search engines
3. More actions and select one of the action and tried to delete the existing one but more actions is not clickable/disabled.

What is the expected behavior?
Existing selection should let you delete the selection and make a new selection

What went wrong?
More actions is disabled not able to remove existing selection.

Did this work before? Yes may be in chrome 62

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.132  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Its always navigating to some 3rd party search when searched from the address bar which is annoying.

@chunduru.anandsai: You are not able to change the search engine because something (probably malware?) is controlling the setting. The fact that the setting is controlled is indicated by the icon showing up in your first screenshot.

I suggest looking up instructions on how to remove chromesearch.win, since there seems to be a common issue for others.
I have tried reinstalling chrome with same version with not extensions and profiles issue still exists. I will need some time to install Chrome 65 version and test it. I don't think I have any malware. I had a doubt initially after few test I figured it out no malware. but for sure its being controlled by something
Even though if malware present I don't understand why chrome lets it software get affected by it. Atleast it should be able to take care not being affected by anyone or anything.
