Your links don t work Bing is not my search engine ; hum think I have already said that want to keep i.e.
11.0 and keep yahoo as the search guessing the only way you'll get it finally is for me to post screen shots but havn t gotten any directions yet;  you still aren t listening / getting my problem : (

My links do work...and i  don't need a screenshot to tell me the solution is wrong as i did it last night...
Perhaps you are not following the instructions properly...

    Hum ok you don t have a fix got ya; and I can t figure out yet how to convert a screen shot into the right format yet to get it to post here just wonderful .

    But I won t give up that easy ; since bing didn t come with i.e. 11.0; had this computer for 4 yrs now; thinking that M.S. is spamming users by way of  IE updates so thinking  ; its been two/three weeks since bing has spammed me; what if I delete the last three weeks of updates and the re boot wouldn t that remove bing ?

    If not why not hum  ?  ?

    Hi Verylost,

    I'm sorry you're having trouble with the format of the picture- like you said, don't give up! Now, I don't recommend removing the last 3 weeks of updates, because you'd lose a lot of critical updates in the process which would leave you vulnerable to threats- which believe it or not are worse than Bing! I don't believe that it would remove Bing either, unfortunately. Let's try to move past the screen shots for now, just for the sake of making some progress for you.

    If I understand you correctly, you're using Internet Explorer 11, and are experiencing symptoms of Bing when Right-clicking (as in, when the menu for right clicking appears, Bing is somewhere in that list). And further, you believe there may be Add-ons of Bing loaded into Internet Explorer and that Yahoo! is no longer your default search engine. Is this all correct? If not, can you correct me on each point that isn't quite right?
    It is my intention to give back where possible through the knowledge I've gained over the course of my experience both personally and professionally throughout my life. I try to accomplish this in a polite, and friendly manner, as I too had to begin somewhere. :)

      Did you right-click - Remove or Disable Bing from the search providers in manage add-ons?

        Ok was thinking that maybe I need to enable bing then add yahoo as the default to add/on then that might allow me to delete bing does that make sense hum ?

        It was included in a Win update...for IE11...so nothing nefarious is going on here...

          Here is reference:
          Microsoft Updates Internet Explorer 11, Now Includes Bing Search Bar In The New Tab Page
          Quote
          Without any announcement, Microsoft has delivered an update for Internet Explorer users of Windows 7 and Windows 8 yesterday as part of the patch Tuesday updates. Instead of the regular security updates, Microsoft has added a new feature to IE11. This update also adds a new Bing search bar in the new tab page.

          By right-click Remove, yes the add-on is gone.
