  3. How to get rid of forced Bing search engine hijacking?

    Every time I try to search with Google, Bing hijacks my search.

    I have gone into my Firefox settings and deleted everything except Google. Google is also set as my search engine.

    I have gone into my Microsoft settings. Bing is not listed in any of the programs, so I cannot delete or uninstall it.

    I have run TWO malware programs, deleted what was quarantined, which still did not get rid of Bing.

    and last, I did a system restore, which also did not get rid of Bing.

    I have NEVER used Bing. I have never DOWNLOADED Bing. Bing was never an issue on my computer until the most recent update, therefore I can only conclude that it was included in that update and that Microsoft is trying to shove Bing down my throat.

    Interestingly enough, I also found that my system restore had been turned off after the last update. Care to explain why? Maybe so I couldn't restore back to before this disastrous update that screwed up my DirextX 9 and art programs so that I can't use
    them effectively anymore? So that I wouldn't be able to restore back to before I had Bing hijacking all my searches?

    Do NOT give me your pat and routine answer involving me going into my browser settings. I've done that. Do NOT tell me to go into my Microsoft settings. I've done THAT. And don't tell me to run virus or malware scans. I've done all of those things.

    Just tell me how to get this useless **** off my computer. You put it on here, so tell me how to get rid of it.

    search engine

    windows xp advice for a windows 10 query. with registry fiddling. great advice.

    anyway, the answer is very simple:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/change-the-default-search-engine-in-microsoft-edge

    "

    When you enter something in the address bar in Microsoft Edge, you’ll see results from Bing. Microsoft recommends Bing for the best performance with Windows 10. Bing gives instant help for Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge (just like this). And Bing links search
    results with some Windows 10 apps. But Microsoft Edge uses OpenSearch technology, so you can change the default search engine. Here’s how:


    • Enter the search engine’s website and browse to it.

    • Select More actions (...) > Settings and then scroll down to select View
      advanced settings. In the list under Search in the address bar with, choose Add new.

    • Select the website and then select Add as default.

      • Note: Only search providers that support the OpenSearch standard will appear in this list. If they don’t support it yet,here's how
        they can."
