How Do I Remove Ask Search Engine From Windows 7 OS?

It may be the case that the ask.com software was installed on your PC. To uninstall:

• Go to Control Panel from the Start button.

• Click on Programs > Uninstall a Program

• Search for a program named ‘Ask Toolbar’ with an ask logo.

• Click uninstall, and then Continue to get rid of the program.

Secondly, if it is appearing on your browser every time instead of Chrome, try this method:

• Launch the Google Chrome, and then go to the menu on the right top corner.

• Select the Settings option from the sub-menu

• Click on the extension on the left-hand side of the window.

• Deselect the Enabled option, and click on the Recycle bin icon to remove it permanently.

• Again, go to the Chrome Settings.

• Find Manager Search buttons under Search.

• Select Google from the given list, and then click on Make Default button.

Google will get set as your default search engine.
