Ask.com is hijacking my searches on every search engine

more options

Every time I start Firefox and access Google, MSN, Yahoo, etc. ask.com hijacks the search and gives me pages with unintelligible copy. This may happen spontaneously even when I'm a web page. It could be on Sears.com or Homedepot.com, anywhere. All plug-ins and extensions have been disable and it's still a problem. It happens even in Firefox Safe Mode. Screen shots can be viewed at http://uploading.com/files/done/4899e8df/
