How can I remove Ask from my computer?

a greeting card for someone and installed inadvertently ask on my computer... toolbar and etc search engine.
Problems following different instructions using websites

According to what he has changed, there could be many places to watch. I suggest starting here:

Open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the build-up of undisclosed items who snuck with some software that you have agreed to install. Some of them could have no other purpose than to make sure that it is difficult to remove Ask. Out as much garbage as possible here.

Then, in Firefox, open the page of the modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

That should remove the toolbar, but there could be some other settings that you want to restore, as your preferred search engine. To do this, I suggest using the icon on the left end of the integrated Firefox search bar.

If you notice your settings changing between sessions - in other words, when exit you and restart Firefox, she returned to unwanted parameters - check a user.js file as described in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

Success?
