Defeat Browser Hijackers!

Ever faced a situation where you were careless while installing some software (mostly a free utility) and your browser got hijacked by ask.com? It not only changes your home page and default search provider, it also prevents you from changing the home page back to what you want. So, even if you change the home page from the "Settings" menu, you'll find that "search.ask.com" opens up the next time your start the browser. After an hour of effort, I finally found a permanent fix... Go to "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall the application called "Movies Toolbar for Chrome (Dist. by Bandoo Media, Inc.)". Then go to your Chrome settings and change the home page once again, this time for good
