Solve : Re:Removing MyWebsearch?

Answer» HELLO, all;Please help with this. A friend of mine needs help in removing MyWebSearch from her Computer. I had her download and install Emco Malware Destroyer(which got rid of alot of spyware that was on her PC), Asquared Free, and Spyware Search and Destroy;all 3 programs we're able to fix most, except for the above listed. Please help. Thank you. First, uninstall the My Web Search option from Add/Remove Programs

1) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel
2) Double click on Add/Remove Programs
3) Find "My Web Search" in the list of installed programs and click on Change/Remove to uninstall it. You may also want to uninstall any of the following items associated with FunWebProducts.

* My Web Search (Smiley Central or FWP product as applicable)
* My Way Speedbar (Smiley Central or other FWP as applicable)
* My Way Speedbar (AOL and Yahoo Messengers) (beta users only)
* My Way Speedbar (Outlook, Outlook EXPRESS, and IncrediMail)
* Search Assistant - My Way

4) Reboot your Computer and run HijackThis

5) With HijackThis, scan for and fix any of the entries shown that may be remaining.

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {00A6FAF6-072E-44cf-8957-5838F569A31D} - C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch\SrchAstt\1.bin\MWSSRCAS.DLL

6) Next, open My Computer, Drive C, and double-click on the Program Files folder

7) Right-click and delete the folders for:

*FunWebProducts
*MyWebSearch

8 ) MyWebSearch should now be completely uninstalled from your computer.

9) There will be some minor registry entries left behind by the uninstall, however these can be cleaned up by running SPYBOT Search and Destroy.

Thanks to PC *censored* for the guide.I would expect the above advice to work, but just to be on the safe side, I would suggest posting your HijackThis log here. When you have an infection, there's a pretty good chance that others are lurking around.
