Hello aprildawne,
Bing is a search engine in the browser, I hope these links will help in resolving the issue.

Sadly, many computers come with Bing pre-selected as the default search engine; I recommend "Google SSL (https)" from near the bottom of section 5 of these results, because it's one of the few Google SSL search-plugins that allows IE to provide search suggestions: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-eng...ame=google+ssl
