Thanks for that last tip. Exploration proved rather revealing. I didn't find Bing, but I did find some other things, several in fact, from ASK.com which I've never visited, and I wasn't aware of, and was at least able to disable them. Now, how to I remove them, if I suspect they're being troublesome later on?
