Every time that I want to search the Internet for something, Ask.com does not work for me. I want to delete it and use Yahoo.com as my search engine. How do I go about doing that? Please let me know ASAP! Malcolm.

Chosen solution

Hi Malcolm, I would think something put Ask.com on your system if you did not. Please find below how to switch search engines.

Suggest you have a look at your Extensions/add-ons in Firefox to make sure everything you put there is in fact what you want.

Also please go through your Programs & Features to make sure everything installed is what you want and has not been added.

If this Ask.com appeared at a certain date look for programs around the same date.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
