In IE8 go to tools/manage/addons/search provides. At the bottom click on find more search providers… choose google etc. This will add google as an additional search provider. Clcik on google and set it as the default see bottom right. Click on bing and click remove. Job done.

Read all the ways to remove that #$#@!Bing!!…The one that worked for me was making sure I was NOT connected to the internet!!..Tools…Manage add-ons….Search providers….When not connected to the internet my set default, and the remove bottoms were lit up and worked accordingly….You then can change your default settings, and add or remove as you choose..Oh yeah..Make sure you have changed your settings….Tools…Internet options…General…etc….It worked for me on IE8….No bing bar no bing nothing!!!!

this information is bogus.
simply right click on the toolbar and uncheck MSN toolbar.

DONE.

if the Remove button is not lit up, it’s because you cannot have an empty list there. You need to add a new search provider (I added Google search), then you may right click Windows Live or Bing and the button will be usable
Hope it helps, Bing really gets on my nerves. Not anymore

ive figured out how to get rid of bing as your search engine and off of your windows live.
exit the internet explorer. go to start, then go to control panel, then go to internet options. from here, under the general tab, change your default search provider to whatever you want besides bing. you can also do this on the tools bar of your internet explorer or using the arrow next to the magnifying glass on your internet explorer to delete bing. now that your default search engine is corrected, you can fix your windows live account. now, when you go to manage search providers using the arrow next to the magnifying glass on the internet explorer or going to manage addons under the tools menu on internet explorer,when you try to remove things, the remove button doesnt work. this will fix the problem. YOU MUST NOT BE ON THE INTERNET FOR THE REMOVE BUTTON TO WORK. so you exit the internet explorer. go tostart, then control panel, the internet options,then click on the tab labeled “programs”. click on the button called manage add ons. here you find the same menu as the one on the internet, except the buttons work! highlight the live search and click remove. now when you go to the internet and log into hotmail, it will not be bing. it will be back to normal. no more bing!!!!!!

This doesn’t work with Vista and IE8. The Remove Button is ALWAYS grayed out and you CANNOT add another search engine.
