I seems this dude installed Windows Live or essential... toolbar might be a part of that and so "updating" the toolbar becomes important.
 
Microsoft decide what's important or not by how much it could affect a user... and I should think that a bug causing explorer to crash would be important.

Note: I do not have the Bing toolbar installed, and (logically enough) I have no prompt for that KB either.

You might also decide to not use the Bing toolbar.
 
Microsoft always has to push their stupid search. It amazes me how much money they've thrown at it over the years promoting it.

I still don't like Bing (except for the pretty image that it displays daily on my phone).
