Ask.com homepage that I can't get rid of!

I downloaded a game (never again) that came with the Ask.com homepage attached.  I uninstalled all programs related to the game but after a reboot, Ask.com remains and I can't figure out how to delete it!  Dell wanted $129 to help me so I am asking for help from someone out there.  I hope someone can help.  Thanks!

Thank you very much....It's gone!  I will remember that, the next time.

Remove the Ask Toolbar in Add-remove programs. To change the homepage, open your browser, go to Tools, Internet Options and select the default home page or select another one. Google "remove Ask" for more tips.

Many times those things are checked by default on installations. If you read the small print in download instructions very carefully, you may be able to uncheck them. A few examples:  http://www.calendarofupdates.com/updates/index.php?showtopic=16109
