Problems with Ask Jeeves

[michaellam]

Hi, when I search for something e.g U2 and then click on one of the results, the web browser just shuts down after a while for some reason. Does anyone know why? I have a feeling it might be to do with spybot but I could be wrong. Cheers

Is it just with U2? They've just suffered internet piracy of their new unreleased album and so could be discouraging access at present

Try using Google, Ask Jeeves is renouned to be a fairly bad search engine. Otherwise, the problem could lie in the answer opening in a pop-up window, in which case try holding Shift down while clicking on the result page hyperlink.

To Famous5,

It isn't just U2 no. Absolutely anything the same thing happens. The problem is that it sometimes shuts down the browser the minute you click on a result or sometimes going back and fourth from the results page to the actual page it will shut down. It's really annoying! This only started to happen recently.
