How come when I type in a web address I get redirected to ask.com search results?

Jessica R · 10-01-2008, 08:09 PM

I would say 98% of the time I type in a web address I get redirected to ask.com search results rather than taking me directly to the site I entered. When I click on my drop down address history all I see is redirect addresses that looks like this...http://dl.ask.com/toolbarv/askRedirect.jsp?gct=&gc=1&q=google.com&toolbar=GV2 I have downloaded and scanned my computer with numerous spyware and virus removal programs and nothing seems to help. I have Zone Alarm Security Pro Suite and it doesn't detect anything. Please help!!!

Did you include www. and .com

no spaces?

it has to be direct.

And post it in the bar that's next to the refresh button (if you're on IE).
