You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs to see if anything from Ask or other suspicious software shows up.

  • Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Uninstall or change a program
  • Click the Installed column to sort by this heading

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to ask.com and reset user set (bold) ask.com prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
