it's not in the control panel under uninstall a program and it doesn't show up under extensions either. How do I get rid of it?

Hi, see if anything in this article will help - Remove Ask Toolbar and Ask.com Search (Uninstall Guide) by Malware Tips.

Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.

After removal you may need to reset your home page, search etc., which you can do by running the add-on SearchReset.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
