With Windows XP, how do I remove bing from my browser page?

I have tried all the standard methods but it is still on my monitor screen. It does not appear in my programs list in the "add-remove-programs" list. It is not listed in my add-on's list. It is not in my internet options, firefox mozilla is the home page and nothing else is listed there. Has anyone else who is running Win XP SP3 found a way to remove this invader? Thanks in advance.

Right click "Tools". Uncheck "Search Toolbars".

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
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/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.

How do I remove content from my web page without deleting it?

Hi,
I previously created a webpage using iWeb on the domain name that came with dot.mac (now Mobile Me). I want to remove it from the online page without deleting it (I may want to use the content later). I've used other software at work (Morello) and there you would "archive" it. Can anyone please advise how I do it on my Mac?
Thanks v much,
Tony

Tony:
You can cause an entire page to not show in the site by using the Inspector/Page/Page pane to remove its link in the navbar. That would preserve that page until you decide to reintroduce it into the site.
As for part of a page, the only way I could think of doing that is duplicating the page and remove the duplicate from the navbar. Then edit the original page to remove the content you want gone.

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 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

How do I remove Bing from default on new tabs?

Like others, I found it really irritating that when a new tab was opened up, it had this Bing search engine there instead of a clean page like I used to have it.

I solved my own prolem.
I discovered something called the "Start Now" toolbar in my programs was the culprit. I had to uninstall it from the control panel before it went away.
There are others with this problem and other solutions involving extensions, but this solved it for me.

How do I remove items from duplicates (child pages) of Master Page?

I am trying to remove an element from a copy of a master page. Basically, I inserted 18 pages into our document, and only on the first of those pages can I go into the layers, select the rectangle (shown in the photo as the smaller square or inset on the larger square) and delete it. However, when I try to do that to the others, it's not selectable and it doesn't show up in the layers. The photo shows what I am trying to remove.
Note: I do not want to change the master page — I just want to take this one item off of the duplicate pages I have created.
The tutorials I found on Adobe aren't really helpful bc I am so new to this program and don't know where to find the things they tell me to use. My version is CS6.

Override this item, use the selection tool and hold down cmd/ctrl + shift key when selecting this object.

I only want the header on the first page . How do I remove it from the other pages but leave it on the first page only.

Uncheck the Headers (and Footers) settings in the Document Inspector.
Enter the 'header information' directly on the first page, or put it into a text box. There's no need to use Headers if you want the information on only one page.

Barry

I am using a MacBook Pro and when I open a new tab in Firefox it opens to Trovi. Mozilla has a forum but solutions are all for the PC/Windows. How do I remove it?

I am using a OSX MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.4 and using Firefox 30.0. My Mac has recently been hijacked by a program called "Trovi".

How do I completely remove Bing from Safari

I have tried to remove Bing from Safari by doing the following:
1) Checked that default search enging is google
2) Turned off extensions (and deleted install.mac extension)
3) Searched fo Bing in finder without success
All the discussion suggestions complete the steps above, but they have not worked for me. I'd really like to stick with Google and dont really want to try other search engines
Kind regards

Look to the right of Safari's address window. You should have a search engine window. Click on the SE icon inside the window & select Manage Search Engines.

If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.
