One way to fix it and it should: 1. If you haven't done so then go to Add/remove programs and uninstall anything that remotely resembles 'bing' in the listing. 2. Hit the windows key to go to the windows7 edit search field and type msconfig. then go to the services tab, make sure 'hide all Microsoft services' is unchecked and then go down the long list there to see if you can find any listing with the word 'bing' in it. uncheck them, hit apply, then Ok and then you need to restart your computer. 3. Again go to the windows search edit field by hitting the windows key and type regedit. In the results, hit enter on regedit.exe. Now no need to be scared of screwing up your registry as if all you do is what I say below you will be just fine. You don't need to be any PC expert to do this in your registry. Once in the registry after hitting enter on regedit.exe, hit control F and type in bing. then hit alt F. You are searching for any entry in the super vast registry files and folders for any entry with the words bing in it. Each time you land on a result, hit the delete button, ignore any doom/gloom msg and accept the yes button. After deleting the first entry with the word bing in it, hit F3 to jump to continue the same search and repeat the delete process if it finds another entry with 'bing' in it. Hit F3 again and so on and so forth until you have deleted every registry entry with the word 'bing' in it.
good luck.

This seems to be kind of a search engine. Has anyone had any experience with this?
