Can’t anybody answer this question? Oh, go to uninstall programs and FF addons? I never would have thought of that.

Hey, this is 2010 and ask doesn’t die so easily.

I had tried removing the stupid Ask toolbar by using the Remove Programs route. It did remove the program but still left the Ask page on both IE and Firefox.

I went to the “options” in “Tools” in both browsers and found that the “ask” browser had been selected automatically as the home page.

I deleted this in both browsers and set the default – voila!! Close the browser and reopen and ASK has gone and the normal pages are restored

I know not where but so far it has not reappeared.

PS I could not find the Vuze toobar

Thanks a million!

I have been haunted by this for days now. All searches were pointing in the Ask toolbar direction but in my case it was the Vuze toolbar that was the culprit. Uninstalled it and voila!
