Hi Vicky, To the best of my understanding Bing is a newer Microsoft search engine that will also install a toolbar, much like the toolbar that Google installs on your computer if you're not careful. As RJ stated, it can be a royal pain in the but, as you have been obviously hearing / reading about, thus the reason for this email thread. If I have mispoken or misrepresented Bing in any way, will someone please jump in & correct me?!
Take care.

Is it a part of Windows? I gather, we don't actually need it?
