Try opening Control Panel on your computer by clicking the Start menu/orb in the lower left of your screen, now select Control Panel. Once opened, look for a link or icon that says (depending on your Operating System) "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs/Uninstall a Program". When the window loads, you should see a running list of all installed applications on your computer. Look for anything that says "Bing" and click it once (left click, not right) to highlight it. A button will appear within the highlighted row to uninstall/change the program. Click the button and a NEW window will appear to guide you through the removal process. After removing a program, it may ask you to restart- choose "restart later" instead. Continue finding and removing "Bing" applications from your computer until all are uninstalled. Now restart your computer, and see what things look like. Keep in mind we may need to also clean out your internet browser, so do not dispair if you still see signs/symptoms of Bing.
