Hi

I had this thing installed on my laptop without me knowing and it took me a
great amount of time to work out how to get rid of it. What I did that got
rid of it wss went into Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs --> there
should be something with a similar name maybe myWebSearch --> Click on Remove

This should stop the program from appearing again. It is also advisable to
run Adware and virus scans after removing to check everything has been
removed.
