Hello,
I am currently using IE 6 and I use Google as my search engine. But very often (too often), if type an address in the address bar of my browser, I am taken to the Bing search page. I have tried to block http://www.bing.com (Under Internet Options, Privacy, Sites), but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't want this website to appear. Please stop imposing it on me. If I want to use it, I know how to find it.
Thanks

Hello OrLoft,
as I have problems with bing.com, too, always appearing on my screen thouh I don't want it, I tried your advice.
After clicking on 'hosts' I am asked with which program I want to open this host file. Can you, please, tell me which program I have to choose to open it?
Thank you in advance!!Saturday, January 23, 2010 11:08 AM -
