Bing ?????

RECENTLY.... Bing took over my Desktop and replaced
GOOGLE as my search engine.

I keep replacing it and it keeps coming back???

Can someone help me get rid of this pest?

I just did a full scan (microsoft security essentials) and I get a clean bill of health.So I
assume it is not a virus.

Please ...any help will be appreciated.

Bing is from Microsoft. It is their search engine, both for your hard drives and network drives and the Web. It is not normally installed, unless you accept optional Windows Updates. That is how it is delivered to most people. You can probably uninstall it via Windows 7's Control Panel "Programs and Features" - or you can probably disable it from the same place, or by right clicking on it's icon and finding the settings, then stop it from starting with Windows.

Thanks Wiz...but... under Programs and Features there is no listing for Bing??
So I cannot uninstall let alone change settings?

Still searching for answer?
