Resolved is ask.com malware?

I recently tried to remove ask.com and was directed to a program called SpyHunter. When I ran its scan, several programs were pegged as malware, but I didn't see ask.com. At the end of the scan, I was asked to register SpyHunter to the tune of $39. The ask.com program is annoying and substandard. How can I get rid of it? Is $$$ the only answer?

Hi, Have you recently installed Software? Ask browser is installed with quite a bit of software if you don't read and uncheck what is going to be installed.
I got it a few months back, and it can be removed. I'll have to put the thinking cap on to remember what I did. Neil.
