Ask.com has taken over my browser. In IE I'm unable to change my homepage. Under Tools/Options that entire area where you change your home page is greyed out.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Ask is a legitimate search engine, not sure how it would have "taken over" your homepage. You may have some type of spyware, but it isn't related to Ask.

The easiest solution may be to reinstall IE. Then download some tools like Adaware, Spybot and scan to get rid of whatever you have. Your work machine has some antivirus I assume?

I feel your pain. PwC forces us to use IE6 and Lotus on PCs for all the admin shit. As a Mac guy I'm constantly frustrated.
