   have you looked at that error?

   its attempting to connect here:

   submissions.ask.com:80

   submissions.ask.com is a hostname, and 80 is a port.

   web servers listen on port 80.

   therefore this:

   http://submissions.ask.com/

   is where its connecting to.

   when that page loads, that error will go away.

   PS: if you want to get rid of the error sooner than that then locate whatever is initiating the connection, and disable it.
