Why won't BING toolbar installation pop-up take NO as an answer?

    Ever since my system was updated with Windows Essentials (several days ago), I've been getting a pop-up from BING which asks me to install the BING toolbar in my browser.

    Since I don't want to, I click "No, Thanks."

    I am then taken to a pop-up asking me to approve changes to my computer, apparently from Bing/Microsoft.

    I click on, "Don't Allow".... figuring that I don't want anything period from Bing or Microsoft at this time.

    Then I am returned to the original pop-up asking me to install the tool bar.

    In other words, the thing won't let me browse the Net until I say Yes to at least one of the pop-ups.

    Is it not possible to say "no" to this "offer"? Is this truly the offer "I can't refuse"?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    this is what i di first go to google home page if you have another default search bar on the explorer there should be a link asking you to make google your default search provider click on it and then a pop up on the top of the page asks you if you want to run the active x press yes again prompts yoy for approval say yes then restatr explorer then go to tools-> manage add-ons then-> manage serch providers click on it then click enable on the google and on the other toolbar (bing here) click remove........

    this tactic represents half of their market share.
