A malware installed this search engine on my browser without my consent.

Suddenly (perhaps after installing some program, even though I did not leave checkboxes "make the ask search engine..." checked) the search engine in all browsers was replaced by ask.com; also it's only one page was open when I launch the browser - ask.com, while the previous session was lost. What the hell :(
Helpful
Take good care because once installed it will hijack search engines and first pages of browsers without visible un-installment options.

Ask Search is involved in adware and browser hijackers which can change your New Tab page, homepage, and default search engine to its own, so using Ask Search is NOT advised.

The search engine by ask.com. I like yahoo more.

It's a good site just as any other search engine. All search engines do the same thing. It can be inappropriate for children for some questions.
Helpful
Apparently, this is Ask's "search engine" and not ***** which is a question answering website. This is a good search engine.
