  • Sounds like you downloaded some program---likely malware---that has partnered up with Ask.com, where you automatically download the Ask.com "toolbar"---which needs removal ASAP.

    That's easily done, using the Control Panel---Add/Remove Programs section of Windows; you'll find the Ask.com toolbar.

    If you have to delete the program attached to the Ask.com toolbar, might be worth it to do so; malware tends to attract other malware and/or dialer viruses.

  • First, clear your cache and reboot. If you use Internet explorer: Go to the page you want.

    https://www.yahoo.com/

    > Click tools along the top line

    > scroll down click internet options

    > in the next window near the top click

    > use current click o.k. at the bottom.

    > In many cases if you look

    > up on the page you will see Make Y! or make yahoo My Homepage

    > If you see that click

    > on it and Yahoo becomes your home page.>

    For Firefox, Chrome and Safari

    Reboot.
