You could try looking in your C: drive, probably under Program Files and deleting anything like Avery Toolbar or Ask. Let me know and then we'll do some cleanup.Alright I deleted avery and ask then rebooted. They are gone from the program files, but avery still shows up in the add/uninstall.To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created do the following: Double click OTL.exe.
********************************************** To set a new Restore Point. Click Start button , click Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, and then clicking System. In the left pane, click System Protection. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. To turn off System Protection for a hard disk, clear the check box next to the disk, and then click OK. Reboot to Normal Mode. Click the Start button , click Control Panel, click System and Maintenance, and then click System. In the left pane, click System Protection. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. To turn on System Protection for a hard disk, select the check box next to the disk, and then click OK. This will give you a new, clean Restore Point. ********************************************************** Clean out your temporary internet files and temp files. Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop. Double-click TFC.exe to run it. Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator TFC will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin. * Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process. * Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. * Please let TFC run uninterrupted until it is finished. Once TFC is finished it should restart your computer. If it does not, please manually restart the computer yourself to ensure a complete cleaning. *************************************************** You may not have a third party firewall. Firewalls protect against hackers and malicious intruders. You need to download a free firewall from one of these reliable vendors. Remember only install ONE firewall 1) Comodo Personal Firewall (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and uncheck any HopSurf and/or Ask.com options if you choose this one) 2) Online Armor 3) Agnitum Outpost 4) PC Tools Firewall Plus If you are using the built-in Windows XP firewall, it is not recommended as it does not block outgoing connections. This means that any malware on your computer is free to "phone home" for more instructions. Simply put, Windows XP contains a mediocre firewall. This firewall is NO replacement for a dedicated software solution. Remember to use only one firewall at the same time. *************************************************** Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software. •Click Start Now •Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection. •Click Start •Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed. •Update anything listed. . ---------- Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates. ---------- I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security ADDON for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable SHOPPING sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free. SpywareBlaster- Secure your Internet Explorer to make it harder for ActiveX programs to run on your computer.

It may not be Malware for free cleaning/maintenance tools to help keep your computer running smoothly. Safe Surfing!Thanks spybot was able to remove all of the mywebsearch. One other thing. I have to double click everything (links, start menu items) that should be single click. When I click anything on the right side of the start menu (control panel etc) I have to right double click and then click open. I tried to see if I could change the mouse settings but I couldn't find anything for single or double click. Is this a virus or is this a settings issue? Quote from: flight on January 15, 2011, 12:41:55 PM Thanks spybot was able to remove all of the mywebsearch.I would suspect that it's a software issue. Post that question in the appropriate software forum. |
