Computer 1 week old; and, when my other one was dying-ish, I got used to doing alot on my phone.
So, last night, I click on Chrome, but I'm on bing, with bottom info/ads which you couldn't close (until you opened them, then 'x'ed out).
I gave my computer to my husband, told him to reset to factory defaults, blah blah.
I thought I did, I had to re-enter all my gmail accounts/passwords (I have 5 gmail accounts, can't stand yahoo).
But, even last night when I tried to go back, the stuff under the url/address bar are the EXACT ONES FROM MY OLD COMPUTER.
It wasn't this way before...I never linked it or synced it.
So, even though I read, and took screen shots of how to make bing go away, it's still there. Also, all my bookmarks, etc.
I've tried googling how to get rid of book marks, nada. Also, I followed the instructions on how to make bing go away, still there.

Patti, I'm no computer whiz (not in the least), but it sounds like the computer you purchased has some "factory" settings like bing (and I hate bing - it's a horrible thing; sorry for the pun). You just might have to take it back to where you purchased it, tell them what you do or don't want, and either they fix it or give you a different one.

Gerard, thank you, but, if you Google it, they show you step-by-step how to get rid of bing (it's a terrible thing).
I took screen shots w/my phone, and followed, but no dice.
