Hello. I have a windows XP computer that has a problem with Internet Explorer 8. When I search for websites like www.bing.com, the browser does OK. When I search for google.com, the browser tries to redirect me to "ask.askredir.com........." and I get a "This Page Cannot Be Displayed" error. There is an Ask Toolbar on the computer. I tried to uninstall it but I get an error message. I disabled in Internet Options in IE but I still get the same error. I use Chrome and Firefox for everything else, so IE isn't a big problem for me. I would like it to get fixed though. Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
Run malwarebytes and a virus scan to make sure the system is clean.
Boot your system into safe mode and uninstall any browser add-ons/toolbars.
