It's not just Bing!, but Yahoo and Google also. It seems that every time that I install some piece of software, be it Adobe Acrobat, a skin for Firefox, or the latest version of Messenger, someone is pushing their toolbar and search engine on me. All that it takes is a moment's inattention to end up with my search preferences all screwed up, and more real estate on my desktop taken up by someone else's shit.

It's bloody ridiculous and this "opt out" model has to be changed to "opt in", before I decide to go running through a software house swinging a machete.
