Bing is a lot of things, not just a search engine or a toolbar.
It does have a desktop client which can be removed through the normal Control Panel => Programs & Features.
And on Windows 8 it's almost a virus the way it's permeated throughout the system
Yeah - beginning to realize that - and it steals my data allowance when it updates the new tiles I now have again on my screen. This time, I figured out ... Verizon 'gave me' a new 4G device. Now, every time I turn it on, BING home page comes up, even tho my homepage is NOT Bing ... SO, it must have installed it again when I installed the 4G.
That's one of the things that annoys me to no end - a company installing something I don't want (even tho I accidentally give it permission - without actually knowing it) ... So, now I have to figure out how to get rid of it, and allow my home page to come up.
I paid for the device, I pay for the service - I wish companies would stop sticking 'things' in my LT services. Not only does it annoy me, it makes me absolutely certain I'll never buy anything like it or anything it advertises, simply because it annoys me.
