Hi
I downloaded some free software from the net, the software was rubbish so I deleted it however it also changed my search engine from google to some form of ask which only comes up with affiliated links.
Does anyone know how I change this back?
Thanks in advance.

Go to internet options and on this page you should see your default homepage (which could be https://www.ask.com from what you have said) change to goole, apply then ok.
