How To Remove Ask.com As Default Web Search Engine

  • Step 1

    Last week ask.com some how got installed on my computer It has taken over all my searches and engines, no matter how many time I reset it to Google
    This is worse than some viruses I have seen. After days of searching the web for answer I finally found out how to remove ask.com
    I am ask.com free !!

  • Step 2

    Go to this link first
    http://media.ask.com/media/toolbar/tools/AskSearchUtility.exe
    and save the file , worked for me

  • Step 3

    Try this also if the link does not work
    Internet Explorer6

    1. Go to Control Panel in Windows itself
    2. Click on Internet Properties
    3. Click on General
    4. Click on Search settings
    5. Set new default and delete ask.com

  • Step 4

    Firefox

    1. Open a new tab or window.
    2. Type "about:config" and hit enter, this brings up the all powerful settings of Firefox.
    3. Agree to the warning that you could mess things up
    4. Find keyword.url, you probably should not change anything else
    5. Double click and change keyword.url string to something else like http://www.google.com/search?q=
    6. Note that you cannot just put in the web site domain, you must put in the parameters before your search query. So find your favorite search engine, do a search and grab all the text up to your actual search results. So that a search for "test" in Google returns this, http://www.google.com/search?q=test, but all you need to input into the keyword.url field is http://www.google.com/search?q=

    What is an ASP File?

    What is an ASP File?
    An ASP file is just the same as an HTML file
    An ASP file can contain text, HTML, XML, and scripts
    Scripts in an ASP file are executed on the server
    An ASP file has the file extension ".asp"
    How Does it Work?
    When a browser requests an HTML file, the server returns the file
    When a browser requests an ASP file, IIS passes the request to the ASP engine on the server
    The ASP engine reads the file, line by line, and executes the scripts in the file
    Finally, the ASP file is returned to the browser as plain HTML

    What is Oops

    WhyObjectOrientedapproach?
    A major factor in the invention of Object-Oriented approach is to remove some of the flaws encountered with the procedural approach. In OOP, data is treated as a critical element and does not allow it to flow freely. It bounds data closely to the functions that operate on it and protects it from accidental modification from outside functions. OOP allows decomposition of a problem into a number of entities called objects and then builds data and functions around these objects. A major advantage of OOP is code reusability.

    Some important features of Object Oriented programming are as follows:

    • Emphasis on data rather than procedure
    • Programs are divided into Objects
    • Data is hidden and cannot be accessed by external functions
    • Objects can communicate with each other through functions
    • New data and functions can be easily added whenever necessary
    • Follows bottom-up approach

    Concepts of OOP:

    • Objects
    • Classes
    • Data Abstraction and Encapsulation
    • Inheritance
    • Polymorphism
    BrieflyonConcepts:

    Objects

    Objects are the basic run-time entities in an object-oriented system. Programming problem is analyzed in terms of objects and nature of communication between them. When a program is executed, objects interact with each other by sending messages. Different objects can also interact with each other without knowing the details of their data or code.

    Classes

    A class is a collection of objects of similar type. Once a class is defined, any number of objects can be created which belong to that class.

    DataAbstractionandEncapsulation

    Abstraction refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. Classes use the concept of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes.

    Storing data and functions in a single unit (class) is encapsulation. Data cannot be accessible to the outside world and only those functions which are stored in the class can access it.

    Inheritance

    Inheritance is the process by which objects can acquire the properties of objects of other class. In OOP, inheritance provides reusability, like, adding additional features to an existing class without modifying it. This is achieved by deriving a new class from the existing one. The new class will have combined features of both the classes.

    Polymorphism

    Polymorphism means the ability to take more than one form. An operation may exhibit different behaviors in different instances. The behavior depends on the
    data types used in the operation. Polymorphism is extensively used in implementing Inheritance.
