How do I remove Bing from my computer?

I downloaded some software through CNET download.com and just hit the quick install option. I should have hit the custom install so I could check the tick boxes of what I wanted. But it installed a program called conduit that hijacks your browser to lock your search engine. After reading posts here on Mozilla, I have not found a good answer as to how it can be completely removed from my computer including all the files and registry entries it has made.
Has anyone found a real solution to this problem?
I can't believe download.com would allow such a malicious piece of software to be included in their downloads! I will never use them or any other download website again! Go straight to the developer site for your downloads!

I found a guide on how to remove all of it and get my browser back here

See below if the search engine setting was changed without your knowledge and you can't change it back.
You installed the "Genieo/InstallMac" rootkit. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the tedious procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the rootkit (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data. You must know how to restore from a backup even if the system becomes unbootable. If you don't know how to do that, or if you don't have any backups, stop here and ask for guidance.
Step 1
In the Applications folder, there may (or may not) be an application named "Genieo". Genieo may be partially installed even if this item is absent. If it's present, select it and open the Finder Info window. If it shows that theVersion is less than 2.0, download and install the current version from the genieo.com website. This may seem paradoxical, since the goal is to remove it, but you'll be saving yourself some trouble as well as the risk of putting the system in an unusable state.
There should be another application in the same folder named "Uninstall Genieo". After updating Genieo, if necessary, launch "Uninstall Genieo" and follow the prompts to remove the "newspaper-style home page." Restart the computer.
This step does not completely inactivate Genieo.
Step 2
Don't take this step unless you completed Step 1, including the restart, without any error messages. If you didn't find the Genieo application, or if you couldn't complete Step 1 for any reason, stop here and ask for instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist

/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. There's no need to restart after each one. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 3
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this software. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Genieo developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the perpetrator of the scam sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run the provided uninstaller. As he knows and intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware.

How do I remove Bing from my toolbar at the top of the page. I have already tried both of the suggestions given in the help section; I could not find Bing in my control panel "add and remove programs," and there was one other suggestion which I also tried

''locking due the age of this thread - asked and answered''
I have tried all of the suggestions given by FF in order to remove Bing from my computer but nothing seems to work. I would appreciate some advise. For instance when I go to add and remove programs I can't even find Bing listed. Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks.

Every time Firefox opened

How can I remove malware from my computer?

I can't go to google mail page. I can't search words with any browser because nothing happen. I think it is malware. I tried spy bot-SD. But no result. Please tel me how can remove malware from my computer.

Try running malwarebytes, if that doesn't work.
Simply restore your system to the checkpoint before this happened. It's easy, On Windows 7, I just had to do it to get rid of the rogue program 'Antimalware Doctor'. Go to Start > ALL Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore click next and select the restore point prior to the time the infection occurred. Mine took only 5-7 minutes to run.
If you don't have Windows 7, you still can get to the System Restore by finding the location of your Accessories, normally System Restore is under this.

How do you remove mackeeper from your computer

Does anyone know how to remove Mackeeper from your Mac?

"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
First, back up all data.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
☞ Don't try to drag the MacKeeper Dock icon to the Trash.
☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode.

How do i remove shuffle from one computer & add to new one

I've been using one computer for my shuffle and now want to remove it from there and use another computer which already has itunes?
Can I do that?
Please help!!!

You should be able to simply plug it into the new computer and link to the new iTunes library. Any music you loaded onto the shuffle from the old computer will be deleted, however.

How do I remove greasemonkey from my computer?

I do not care for the Dream World puzzle solver by greasemonkey. I went into my computer's "add/remove programs" in control panel and cannot locate greasemonkey ANYWHERE to delete it...

GreaseMonkey is a Firefox Add-on, so its settings can be accessed through [[Using extensions with Firefox#w_managing-extensions|the Add-ons Manager]] .
You can remove 'GreaseMonkey' from Firefox entirely via the ''Extensions'' section, or specifically remove 'Dream World Puzzle Solver' via the ''User-Scripts'' section.

How can I remove Bing from the navagation toolbar?

I have a Bing search box on the navigation toolbar and I want it removed. Please inform me as to the process to do the Bing removal.

I searched frustrated for hours and this ACTUALLY does work!! It won't let me post a link here for some reason but there is a site called thesafemac(dot)com and the programmer there offers an adware program called the AdMedic. It's free to download, though a pop up box will ask you for a donation after install. You can click 'already donated' and it will go away or do what I did and donate a tiny amount once I saw the magic it worked (donation box never came back after that and the donation was through Paypal a few days back and no sign of weirdness there). Anyways, just open the AdMedic program once installed from Applications and run a scan. It finds that crappy crap in a flash and you can delete all at once. It restarts your computer and WHAM, you're back to normal. This REALLY fixed the annoying Bing problem on both my search engine and my tabs. It does reset it to the original Firefox browser which I then set to Google, but all my bookmarks were still in place. Well worth the tiny donation I gave him!! Hope this helps!!

How do I remove Ask from my computer?

did a greeting card for someone and inadvertently installed Ask onto my computer... toolbar and search engine etc.
Having trouble following different instructions by using web sites

Depending on what it changed, there could be several places to look. I suggest starting here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Some of these might have no other purpose than to make sure it's hard to remove Ask. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Next, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
That should remove the toolbar, but there might be some other settings you want to restore, such as your preferred search engine. For that, I suggest using the icon on the left end of Firefox's built-in search bar.
If you notice your settings changing between sessions -- that is, when you exit and start Firefox up again, it has reverted to unwanted settings -- check for a user.js file as described in this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Success?

If "Special Savings" is part of Firefox, how do I remove it from my computer, if not any help would be welcome.

When browsing Ebay, on each photo there is a [See Similar] button on the window. If I just brush the button a large window opens with a group of junk items for sale. In my opinion, this is a completely worthless piece of crap that I DO NOT WANT ON MY COMPUTER.
If this is part of Firefox and I can't remove it then I guess that as much as I like Firefox, Firefox will need to be replaced.
