Bing, Zugo Ltd, Mozilla Firefox
I'm working on a machine running Firefox that got hit with the Bing toolbar by Zugo Ltd and default Firefox search engine changed to Bing.
I thought of Experts Exchange first, but EHow had this tutorial

about:config

I'm left with a couple of questions.
(1) Is this even a legitimate search tool?

(2) If it has no legitimate purpose, then how do I get rid of it entirely?

look in the addons list and get rid of it from there.
also check your program files as well
