    Hi gypsi33, and welcome to the forum.

    I agree that the bing search engine is an obnoxious program that seeks to hijack your alternative search engines at every opportunity. I doubt that it is taking over your computer, however.

    A comprehensive guide to removing it in Windows 10 browsers is here:

    Note: this guide is more than one year old; let us know if the directions do not work. There may be better and more current guides.

    It seems to me that this should be a legal matter, like antitrust law. Has anyone smarter than me seen any litigation from Google about a giant like Microsoft strong arming the public? They should be challenged on using their company like a virus to attack their competition.
