How do I get rid of BING? If I can't get rid of BING, I'll have to get rid of Firefox.
Bing always shows up as my search engine even when I set the default as GOOGLE. How do I get rid of BING?

Hi, This could be an issue caused by AdAware or Web Companion from Lavasoft. Uninstall them.
You can look for a file named dsengine.js in these locations. You should only find channel-prefs.js in the "defaults\pref" location. Any file found here apart from channel-prefs.js is suspicious. You can check the content of the file in a text editor (use open with and do not double-click the file).
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\
You can look for a file named dsengine.cfg in the main Firefox program folder.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\
Delete the dsengine.js and dsengine.cfg files when present.
Please use more than 1 scanner as each uses diff tech :

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
Bing just overwrites firefox, but does not change the name of the file. You have to reload firefox completely.
Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; (<Control> [Mac=<Command>] <Shift> A)
In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove “ Bing “ Anything.
Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine
Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.
Windows: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs. Mac: Open the Applications folder. Linux: Check your user manual.
Thanks will try your suggestion, I have it back working properly. No doubt it will happen again and threr will be the name Bing somewhere. There is nothing there now. Thanks Again!!
