2 hours ago I started to download the Adobe software. I canceled the download and found that the bing browser had been installed as my default browser. I need to get rid of the bing browser permanently and have google as my default browser.

Cheers, Stel.

I think you are talking about the search engines. Or is it your home page also?


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, securedsearch

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.

You can also do a malware scan just to be sure.
