    download and install ccleaner, then go click tools and then uninstall. scroll down until you find the bing toolbar and then select uninstall, it should remove it from your computer.

    MS must have made changes to it since they released it(I removed it using ccleaner when it first came out). I googled it and found a youtube video showing how to remove it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-0NdzVovB4

    In my case didn't work any of this. I blocked it in all ways, but Bing toolbar was back again and again, but this one killed him for good.
