Okay, I don't know how it happened, or if it came that way with IE 11, but even if I do a complete history reset, when I go in to type something it tries to do an autocomplete and display a history of sites I never go to or don't care about.

How do I clear that or turn it off? It bugs the crap out of me.

I believe that you're referring to 'Suggested Sites'. It doesn't send keystrokes to Bing. It sends your browsing history to MSFT then predicts where it thinks you want to go.

Tools / Internet options / Advanced tab / Browsing

Uncheck "Enable Suggested Sites."

Apply, OK.

If you're amenable to using another browser, IE can be disabled. I had to do that when I upgraded to Win 7. IE was driving me nuts.
 
This is funny ..I bet you can't wait for your mom to see every porn search you ever did honestly if it's that big of deal pretend your computer blue screened and factory reset your computer. Next time google TOR

Ie9 and W7 were ok, IE10 caused some issues but were rectified. I'm not on IE11 yet, is it out of Beta?

Had to use Chrome for seeing video files in DropBox. IE 10 had problems, went back to an XP machine with IE8 for the video. Then Chrome. Safari on a PC worked fine.

Today IE10 worked fine with DropBox.

Chrome with Hangout on the PC works better than Skype.

IE 11 RTM was Nov 7, 2013.

Not sure what Dropbox uses but MSFT traditionally isn't real great at supporting non-MSFT technologies (Java, etc). Skydrive works great though!
