Infuriated with Google Search!

3. Yes, quite inadvertently

I did do that, unknowingly at the moment it happened. I started a regime of caloric and sodium reduction soI need to frequently research "nutritional" details on every food item I consume meal planning purposes.

I clicked on a link that seemed to have the specific information I wanted on the links page... I thought i was clicking on a nutritional index page, but soon realized that whatever I "downloaded" took over my tool bar, with tabs that assumed every thing in that field of research.. all Ask.com.

Realizing what I had done, I spent considerable amount of time searching how to uninstall, which I finally accomplish or so I thought. The toolbar was removed and my original toolbar was restored.

I didn't want to "restore" my computer to a previous date, because I've had experience of problems fixing a problem with that approach.

Based on your response regarding Ask and Google, I'm now thinking that I didn't complete the uninstall job afterall.

If you have suggestions on what additional procedures I should take now to fix this, that would be extremely appreciated!

Good to know the two companies have not merged, but I'm wondering why many links now say "Google Ask". It's really weird.
