Advice please.

In a rush whilst browsing using Google Chrome I clicked on something which means my Google browsing goes straight to B****y Ask. A useless site.

Am using Windows 10.

Everything I do to remove Ask is failing.

Suggestions.

Problem is Google is still my browsing setting and have changed it back to that but Ask is still kicking around and diverts to same.

Sorry dealing with a thick one here.

Have deleted and reinstalled Google Chrome as my browser.
Have searched settings everywhere for Ask. Cannot find.
Tried searching with Google Chrome again and diverted to ASK!!!

Indeed, spend all of your time with iOS updates which then require patches having slowed your machine down. Super.

iOS runs on iPhones and iPads so probably would mess up performance on an iMac.

Thanks for advice chaps.

I have Malwarebytes and ran that. Bingo, Ask has disappeared.

Ask? It serves you right for browsing the internet in 2004 mode.
