You Wont Find Tech Support Ads on Bing Anymore!

We’ve all had that fear when our system starts doing something we didn’t expect it, from a popup on your desktop or an unknown program opening on your system, the problems are often not the first time they’ve occurred. The first instinct of many, if they are able, is to go find anything they can about the problem online, often turning to search engines to find technical support. Best not use Bing to find your tech support needs in future as the search engine has now banned the ads thanks to the malicious nature of the ads themselves.

Thanks to the large number of illegitimate offers regarding Technical support, the search engine owned by Microsoft has now prohibited all advertising of third party tech-support services. With tech-support often saying that your system is broken beyond the obvious problem, but not in a way that they can’t fix for a rather large fee, often installing malware so that they can get more from your bank account in the future.

With search engines making measures to help stop and prevent paid-for ads on search engines being used to infect and maliciously trick you into using their services, often at your own risk.
