Ask.com giving wrong answers?
Anybody have a clue why I'm being redirected from Ask.com searches to a totally different search engine?
I'm running Explorer on my home laptop. Ask.com will allow me to input my search criteria and gives me the results. However, when I click on a result URL, I'm redirected to another (seemingly random) search engine.
This smacks of virus, but I don't surf with administrator privileges and my Zone Labs suite doesn't find anything.
Thoughts?

I assume virus/spyware or some kind of obscure cookie. Have you done a clear history and an adware scan to remove cookies?
