I have ask.com on my computer and I want it gone!

I can not found out how to get into the config.sys files to delete ask.com from there. That is the only place it is. When I download Mozilla Firefox 5.0 all I get when I log onto it is ask.com. Even if I delete Firefox and reload it, it still takes me to ask.com as a search engine. I have deleted everything from the regedit that has anything to do with ask.com and still no luck. It is in the config.sys files.

Have you considered changing your home page to something other than ask.com

There is more to ask.com than just changing the home page, there is also an extension.

More information on ask.com, Yahoo Toolbars

More information on configuration variables available in about:config entries and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change)
