Tag pages about you and your friends

Bing Tags beta make it easier for people that search on Bing to find the real you. When you tag pages about you or your friends from Facebook, the tagged pages are grouped higher in Bing results than those for people with the same name.

When you tag a page about yourself, a link to that page is posted on your Facebook timeline and anyone that searches for you on Bing will see the tagged page in their results.

When you tag pages about friends, they see a link to that page posted on their Facebook timelines. If you tag a page about a friend more than once a day, Facebook combines them in to one post. Your friends can see all of the pages you've tagged on Bing.

Give Bing permission

Go to Bing Tags beta, click Start tagging, if necessary, sign in to Facebook and give Bing permission to post to Facebook.

Protect yourself from malware

Malware is short for malicious software, a program or file that is designed to specifically damage or disrupt a system, such as a virus, worm, or a Trojan horse. Bing disables links to potentially dangerous sites in our search results, and notifies you that the site may download malicious software that can harm your computer.

Why was the site flagged as harmful?

A site is flagged as harmful when Bing detects harmful content on one of the pages within the site during our normal indexing process. This includes, but is not limited to, attack code that is capable of downloading malicious software on your machine. Bing recommends that you avoid visiting these pages. For more information on avoiding dangerous downloads, visit the Microsoft Safety & Security Center.

Why just a warning message? Why was the site not removed from the index?

The pages that are flagged as harmful are often legitimate sites that are abused by a malicious third party without the knowledge of the site's owner. Because Bing strives to give you both relevant and safe results, we decided to include the web page as part of the relevant result set, but also alert you with the warning message.

For website owners:

If you are the owner of a website, you can get more details about your site, our review process, and how to remove malware at Malware Re-Evaluation.

Some features and functionality described here may not be available in your country or region.
