you must have accepted it as a result of using website..unwittingly ..call up google and reset as home page ...
The most common way Ask gets installed is with the Java Update. By default the user must uncheck the Ask install each time they install an update.

Ask can be very difficult to remove. The fact that Java is bundled with this unwanted pest shows that Java and everything that runs on it is also rubbish.

so what do you suggest ? call up google ??????
Go to your Internet options and set Google as your default browser. If your getting Ask.com as your homepage change it to google.com.

NB: That site is trustworthy but well known for its 'overkill' approach. I'd omit steps 3 and 5. (When installing the free version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, as per step 4, ensure that you deselect the pre-ticked option to take a free trial of the Premium version).
