Re: windows help
 
go into control panel.. internet options/security/restricted sites/sites/ and type in ask .com/..then do the same for any site you are re-directed to....it's hassle but worth a try.

ask.com isnt a malicious site though... i dont get why that is happening... mancies right, perhaps a hijack or a virus causing it

just closed this page then tried bringing firefox back up and guess where it went....ask.com, checked to see if it was on the list on the restricted sites and it hasnt even registered :(

It sounds like a real mash up Flashy..have you tried going back and using IE? the internet options might only work for windows IE.. there is an app called hijackthis that can sort out this sort of aggro but it needs to be downloaded.. anyway it's here

Trend Micro HijackThis - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

Re: windows help
 
could it just be that you have Firefox home page set up for ask.com

Tools/options/Main

in the home page change the info to what site you want as homepage...
i use Google

for hijack this you need to know what to delete and where.... it doesnt do it all for you...
