To everyone that is asking where this is coming from, it is from a process on windows called BingSvc.exe Feel free to delete it when you find it.

Just like everyone else, I didn't install it and whenever I take it out of my extensions it just comes back. It's really the worst and honestly, who would willingly want to use Bing? Bing sucks, just like this extension. 0/10 would recommend even though everyone has it against their will. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this?
