Removing IE Addon "Bing Toolbar"
This section provides a tutorial example on how to remove 'Bing Toolbar for Internet Explorer' programs on Windows systems.
When "Bing Toolbar" is disabled, the Bing toolbar in IE will not be displayed. But some "Bing Toolbar" programs are still running in the background.
Here is what I found on my Windows 7 computer in the HijackThis report:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\7.1.391.0\BingApp.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\7.1.391.0\BingBar.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\7.1.391.0\BingSurrogate.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\7.1.391.0\BingSurrogate.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\7.1.391.0\BingSurrogate.exe O2 - BHO: Bing Bar Helper - {d2ce3e00-f94a-4740-988e-03dc2f38c34f} - C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\7.1.391.0\BingExt.dll O3 - Toolbar: Bing Bar - {8dcb7100-df86-4384-8842-8fa844297b3f} - "C:\Program Files\Microsoft\BingBar\7.1.391.0\BingExt.dll"
To fully remove Bing Toolbar programs, I went to Control Panel > Programs and Features. Then locate and click "Bing Toolbar" to uninstall it.
Reran HijackThis and I saw no Bing Toolbar entries in the report.
