I uninstalled the Bing Desktop, but when I shut down the computer and it came back up, it was still there. How can I get rid of it completely?

Bing desktop was released through the windows update system,
Which is where you can Uninstall the update from,
Go to Uninstall a program or Programs and features,
On the top left click on View installed updates,
Scroll the list, it might take a minute or two to completely load all of the updates.
Right click it and click on Uninstall, it should be listed as, Bing desktop search.
P.S.
Change how you receive windows Recommended updates so when you uninstall it, it will not reload.
I want Bing off my computer. I do not have Mozilla Firefox browser. Get it off now. I didn't ask for it and I don't want it.
I did not have Bing desktop search in my list. Any other suggestion or names.
Why so difficult to remove and why are the pop ups so bad
The issue is your not reviewing windows updates before allowing them to be downloaded and installed,
Bing desktop search is a Optional although recommended update,
Simply Unchecking One box will prevent it from downloading and installing,

The very bottom box = Uncheck
Give me recommended updates the same way I receive Important updates,
This is the only script you need,
Cheers.
Yes I have done this a 1000 times but it keeps getting installed. I was hoping there was a way of writing a command to prevent Bing from ever being installed again.
