Careful on your little facebook trick.

Generally, if I'm using a host table entry on my desktop, it's either to map something to *nowhere* or to map a customer URL that, for whatever reason, doesn't have a public DNS entry.

As to Bing redirects, it happened to me, too, and it turned out to be hidden in a recently-installed browser extension (and didn't even respond to mapping Bing to nowhere!). If I ever find my browser randomly redirecting Google searches to Bing again, I will *always* assume that some recently installed browser extension was a Trojan horse, and start removing them.
