Steps To Remove The Ask Toolbar

Toolbars are on-screen applications that represent a specific website or a service. When you click on these applications while browsing the web, these toolbars would take you to the website that they represent. Here, you would be asked to type your search query again. Once you enter, a list of search results would appear. Hence, the toolbars are meant to provide a convenient browsing experience for the users.

The Ask Toolbar can be termed as a browser add-on and is an extension of the Ask.com search engine. This commonly found toolbar helps you to search for varied contents such as images, videos and news from the Ask search engine, once you click on it. As mentioned earlier, the Ask toolbar puts the Ask search engine directly on your internet browser which enables you to conduct a search using the Ask search engine from anywhere on the Web. However, sometimes the Ask toolbar might lead to some irritating situation because in some cases, the toolbar might replace your browser’s default home page. Hence, in such cases, the Ask toolbar removal would be the ideal option.
