I was able to remove ask toolbar from my computer using Advanced System Care Professional and it’s uninstall program in utilities. I had tried every thing else with no success. Advanced System Care Professional also has an option to force an uninstall for difficult programs. Advanced System Care Professional can be found at Iobit.com, costs around $19 US dollars. Honestly not a bad program and runs well under Windows 7.
