Bing came uninvited and refuses to leave?

[copas]

Have a Dell desktop running Vista.

I have been sailing along without a glitch since Super Dave helped me clean uo my computer last year.
Now, Bing came uninvited (knowingly) and refuses to leave. It seems to be attached to IE.

Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated.

Did you try this:

Click on tools icon or the cog icon depending on the version of internet explorer you are using. If you cant see the toolbar, press ALT key on your keyboard to reveal the toolbar. Scroll down and locate Bing Bar – select it by clicking and then click the disable button to disable it a shown in the image below.Aug 13, 2014

Which version of IE?

Thanks so much for your response.
I am running Explorer 9 , Vista Ultimate. Dell System.

I don't know enough to not get into trouble when I try to follow advice and my computer doesn't look like I think it should. So let me be sure I understand your advice.

Can I delete the Bing tool bar? There are three Bing search boxes at the top of my screen now.

I see Bing in the internet option box when I click on it.

Sometimes a lovely picture titled Bing appears and fills the screen.  Nice enough to keep, but I didn't order it.

What should I delete first? Mysterious to me.
