What version of Windows and what Web Browser are you using?

i´m using windows 7, and a firefox browser

its still there, even after removing it from the settings.
I assume it opens up wen you open your browser so it must be set as the page that opens first or as one of teh default search enegines. It'l all be in your browser.
You may have downloaded some free software that includes BING
Piggy I have windows 7 and Firefox and had same problem as you. It was a sneaky download with Adobe Reader or Flash and I had to pay an IT guy to get rid. I am so careful upgrading Adobe now.

Malwarebytes anti-virus removal package is a good option to try to remove it initially, which if you do not already have it installed you can obtain the free version at: https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/sem/. Make sure you select the option to install the free version only.
