Old School ad scam hits Facebook; switches users to Microsoft's Bing

Microsoft has already dropped those folks from their affiliate program because of their hijinx. Was on CNET this morning

I opened Firefox this morning and the Bing toolbar and search window were installed. I am not the only one who uses this computer. Sigh...

How does one change it back from Bing to Google Chrome?

Seems like I can't turn around without having Bing try to take back control of my browser and I don't go anywhere near facebook or Mybaby.

MS is just doing their normal I want control
of you whether you like it or not.

It's all about the $.

Have you installed Adobe Flash Player or Adobe Reader lately? There are probably dozens of third party software and addons that make good money getting you to use/install Bing and probably get credit each time they switch you back to Bing, if you have removed the toolbar or changed your home page.

Bing is a search engine. Chrome is a browser.

Ask again accordingly.

If it is just that your default search engine changed, change it back in the browser settings.

There was a check box as to whether or not you wanted to install it, unfortunately the default on it was checked so if you weren't watching the myriad prompt boxes that kept coming up you missed it on the second or third prompt.
I had to go to "add & remove" programs in the control panel to remove the "bling" toolbar and in both IE and Firefox go into setting for default search provider to reset users preference back to original setting.
