Ask.com Has Invaded My Browser

15 years ago

Hi

Are you using Internet Explorer?

If so, you should be able to go to View -> Toolbars and untick Ask.com from there.

I hope this helps

Thanks

If you're using FF 3.0 or above, you may have an icon just to the right of the search entry field in your task bar. If you do, click on the drop menu on that icon and select the SE of your choice. Last update I did to that browser set the SE to AIM. Great, huh?

It's getting somewhat annoying that the browser updates toolbars to override our set preferences. Almost every update I do in Windows requires pest eradication of some sort.

Thanks

The same exact thing started happening to me a couple months back -- have no idea how it started, although it may have had to do with automatic Firefox updates. Good to know I wasn't going nuts.

I solved it, although now I can't remember how.

Glad I could help!

No, wait, I just found this:
latest Firefox update brings up Ask.com for any search • mozillaZine Forums

Go to the last post at the bottom of the page and it tells you how to fix this -- I'm pretty sure I did something similar and it got rid of it on my browser.

Thanks
