@ above

Thanks so much, it fixed :D :D :D

Solved it finally for me (after trying to deinstall windows updates and toolbars i didn't have). Thanks a lot!

@Vaibhav

you should have say how to open registry edit, but any way it fix for me thank you

Vaibhav, thank you from the bottom of my cold, back heart. Either the regedit or uninstalling that "security" update did the trick--I can't tell which, as I did them at the same time.

Ethan and Vaibhav,

Thank you soooo much, I sent bing some serious hate mail. It pissed me off SO much when I would type, apple, facebook, or netflix and it would take me to bing search results.

I had tried searching the contents of every file on my whole computer and searched my entire registry for the word "bing." And obviously it didn't work. Thanks for figuring out this intensely annoying problem.

Thanks!

Damn man, thank alot , the registry one fixed it, i've been searching for a fix for 2 hours, thanx alot people

@Vaibhav: this is brilliant, thank you very much! @mozilla: this should be featured more prominently (adding it to this kb article would be a good idea)

This fixed the problem for me.

Please make this solution more visible. Spread the word!

Thank you very much for the original poster of this solution.

Thanks!

I have the same problem, but don't have mshome on any adapter. Perhaps my DNS was poisoned from when I did have mshome. Anyway, opening an admin console and running:

ipconfig /home

solved it for me.

This was a tough one...

Thanks, Asaf

Thanks for the solution. Also once mshome.net is removed from connection-specific suffix list, reverting the settings to append primary and connection-specific dns suffixes does not bring it again.

Thanks Ethan! Lots of suggestions on the Internets, but this one actually worked. And learned a bit of DNS as well :-) Was wondering why 2 or more words still worked as expected.

I was wrong, reverting the setting will bring the mshome.net back.

Can someone explain this for those of us who are not as tech savvy?  :)

Hi, I had the same problem and the fix with mshome worked!

Thank you very much.

I would also like to point out that when I switched from Wifi connection to LAN, the problem disappeared. It's obvious as previously I ran ipconfig and truly didn't see the string at any other adapter than my wifi. However it's interesting that it happened just for wifi (same as Xander in this thread). Maybe this would help finding the root cause for someone who's more skilled than me ;-)

Translate:

Start Menu > run: "regedit" > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > System > CurrentControlSet > Services > TCPIP > Parameters and "empty the "mshome.net" value from the ICSDomain key"

"then disable and re-enable your adapter":

Start Menu > settings > control panel > network connections > icon of your connection ("disable and re-enable your adapter")

i found another solution here (i wasn't smart enough to follow that last post):

don't know why it's at this site, but it works!
