Quick Tip – How to Remove Bing

Dec 07 2009 Published by Sanjay under Uncategorized

Annoyed by this as much as I am? Started seeing Bing search results all of a sudden instead of your usual search engine?

You were given this search ‘tool’ after a recent Microsoft update.

Let’s reset this back to Google . . .

  • Go to My Computer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
  • Locate and open the file “hosts”.   (use Notepad when asked what to open this file with)
  • Copy and paste the following two lines anywhere into that open file and save the file when done:

74.125.127.100 www.bing.com
74.125.127.100 bing.com

  • Presto – close your browser and open again, and you’ve been un-Binged!
