Notes about the ASK file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The ASK file type is primarily associated with 'Ad-Aware' by Lavasoft. Ad-Aware provides protection from known Data-mining, aggressive advertising, Parasites, Scumware, selected traditional Trojans, Dialers, Malware, Browser hijackers, and tracking components. Usually found in the ...\Skins folder under the program's install folder.

Cannot access ASK files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open ASK files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
