Computers help: How can I get rid of “BING”, I regard this thing as an insult to my intelligence, and it does NOT do what has been claimed of it! - Help.com

Delete Internet Explorer from your computer and give Mozilla Foxfire a try as your search engine. I agree. Shoving Bing down the consumer’s throat will just force them to reject it without giving it a try.

Bing search sh*t cant be removed theres not higlighted option “remove” this is the big issue evrybody trying to resolve.. oh man i hate this.. why we cant just change deafault search engine in IE setting… holy sh*t and i started to like IE8 now im forced to return to Firefox or Chrome.. ^^

The problem with this is it keeps defaulting back every time you shut down the puter, which is every night if you’re trying to be a bit more green like me. Why can’t you get it to go away and stay away???

To get rid of the toolbar, I just went to “view”, selected “toolbars” and unchecked MSN toolbar.

select something else as your default search engine

Thanks that really helped me out. That stupid bing bar was tacking up to much space.

Thanks again

For Google Chrome Web Browser. Getting Rid of Bing For Google Chrome, go to the Wrench Icon on the far upper right, select Option, and on the first tab is a drop down menu for “Default Search”. There you can change it back to Google.

I GOT RID OF BING! It was easy. First i tried everything I read online and it did not work, because this pernicious little program refused to delete. That’s exactly why I don’t care how wonderful it may be, i don’t want to be FORCED to have a particular search engine any more than I want to be FORCED to purchase health insurance… (Fixed the former, still working on the latter problem..)
OK to return your browser to GOOGLE, just open up Firefox and go to the TOOLS section on the address bar. Go to OPTIONS in the Pull Down BOX. You will see the box entitled HOME PAGE with the WRONG search engines title in there. NOW as an EXTRA precaution BEFORE you do any deleting, block in the address and COPY it, so that if you do not get the desired results you can restore the search engine you are using.
NOW to to the HOME PAGE BOX and DELETE the contents. Then type in: http://www.google.com/search. That will put you back to GOOGLE search page as soon as you re-open it! BINGONE!

I got rid of bing by going to features and turning off the IE8 . Then I used my my google Chrome. I am so happy now.

In chrome:
Settings (wrench)
Options
And change search engine in defoult search engine part

Click the arrow next to bing bar,
click find more providers
Add the Google search bar
click the arrow again and go into manage search providers
set google as the defult provider
and delete that **** Bing

Click the arrow next to bing bar,
click find more providers
Add the Google search bar
click the arrow again and go into manage search providers
set google as the defult provider
and delete that **** Bing

Is right it works

Alright, like the person said who’s account has been deactivated, at teh top right hand of your internet explorer, there is a search box with a magnifying glass beside it. Click the arrow by the magnifying glass, go to manage search providers. Choose bing, then click remove. TADA! no more bing.

Bing is a worthless piece of crap. Its basically comparable to yahoo. It is not nearly as efficient or simple as google, and it basically chooses what results you would like. Google mainly uses what people click on when searching the exact search you searched (much more efficitive). Bing is the idiot wannabe that tries to be google.

These above ideas didn’t work for me…
I am using Internet Explorer.
Simply click Tools, then Internet Options, then the 6th category (Programs).
Then at the bottom, click “Manage Add-ons”.
Click the 2nd choice on the left “Search Providers”.
Then click the line with the darn “Bing”.
Then “Remove as Default” and “Remove from list” I believe, since my Bing is freakin’ no longer there!!!!! YAYYYYYY…

Hope this helped…

To get rid of bing in the upper right hand corner of Internet Explorer, just do the following. Go up to the little down arrow just to the right of the word BING and left click it. Go down to to where it says “Manage Search Providers” and click on that. You will see Bing in the list and it will be marked as the “Default”, highlight it and a bunch of suggestions will appear. On the left side of the suggestions third one from the top you will see one listed as Search Suggestions and you will see when you follow along that line that Bing is Enabled. Just click on the “Disable Suggestions” and this will turn Bing off. Now go down to the bottom of this same page and click on “Find more search Providers”, I chose Google and it will take you to a sight that has multiple seach engines, like I said I chose Google. Let this page do your installation and then return to the Manage your search provider page. You should now see two search providers in your list. Bing and whatever else you chose. Highlight the search provider you chose and enable it. Now you can go to bing which has been disabled remove or delete it. Close everything down and restart your browser. You will now see that your new search provider has replaced Bing in the Upper right corner of the screen. When you click on the little down arrow and go to the Manage your search provider page you will see that Bing is magically gone forever.

Hope this helps.

Are you kidding me Bing is one of the most innovative, simplest ways to search. For example go to a site called bingle.nu (compares google and bing) and type some of these queries calories in a chicken, Australia, Tokyo, Where is abraham lincoln buried. Oh also bing calculates calories in foods it also solves math problems and defines words.For example go to bing and type something like this x+8*76=4*7+8 and it will give you the answer while google will lead you to a site with lots of numbers. You will find bing comes out with a lot more accurate information from reliable sources while google directs you to sites like “wikianswers”.

I dont care what BING comes with..if I wanted it on my PC, i would have intentionally downloaded & installed it as my default search engine. Or I would have enabled the toolbar.

My issue is not with BING…my issue is with the toolbar itself - regardless of the search engine used. I want the toolbar gone. I didnt want it 6 months ago - I dont want it now.

In IE8, there doesnt seem to be a successful method to remove it.
I located several posts about registry edits…unsuccessful…
I located a foew posts dealing with the GPEdit method…unsuccessfull…

Does anyone have another more relevant & on topic suggestions to remove the Search Engine toolbar (after Bing is installed as the Default)?

no bing or browser now goodbye

Is the the sanctimonious idiot forum, or what?

any thing is better then a microsoft forced program. How many updates do we have from a company that requires us to take? what we have to? i dont have to do any thing but if i dont want to be down the tubes then i guess i am being forced to accept Micro.. what there is machine called a Mac. wow that is where i am going be for i take a microsoft product again.. Bing me to the moon would ya.

Help me please! i followed your directectiopn; however, i cannot get rid of “bing”, i do not like it, i do not want it…..i hate it!!!!! what else should i do????? i am totally fed up with this bs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Firefox 4 when the Bing page appears, look at the top right of the Bing search area on the search page (not in the toolbar). There it says ‘remove” in blue letters. click it and Bing is gone!

I spent time getting rid of unwanted toolbars etc, now bing has that dropdown search bar taking up at least an inch of space, and chasing me down the page. The commie ***** that came up with that should join Bin Laden. Ijust cant come up with an insult that would fit this bastard.

Pthis bing crap came on when i was looking for map quest it said to install to use map quest i want bing off my comp. and i will never use map quest or any thing that has any thing to do with bing

Go to http://www.google.com/homepage/search/ and click on the add button and set as default. This will list Google as your default.

“http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1& q=”
press ok.
restart firefox and bing will have almost gone. It will still pop up every now and then on some searches, but mostly it will be like it never happened.
