Hello,

 

Bing is taking over my Google browser search. including my Avast Private browser. 

I ran CCleaner and have ran several boot scans as well as regular scans. I can't seem to get rid of it.

Any help would be so appreciated..

You are not dealing with a virus so I moved your topic to this forum.

 

See this topic for an explanation as to what is going on.

You're welcome.

 

I just opened File Explorer, navigated to C:\Windows\Temp\MUBSTemp and ....
renamed the .EXE file to BCILauncher.EXEdisable 
renamed the .EXE file to BingChatInstaller.EXEdisable
 
This way I can go back and examine more thoroughly what they did when I have more time.
