reboot pc...when first see info (before opens desktop) press F8 (top row keyboard) choose "safemode"...control panel, remove unwanted programs...reboot pc.
Also check User Accounts to make sure noone else is signed on to your pc...if so, (change the way the users log on or off) make your log-in, password protected.

If it is indeed adware/spyware google Trend Micro HouseCall. It is a free online scan that will remove most adware/spyware programs. Hope this helps! If not, download AVG Free Edition, it is a complete antivirus/spyware adware remover. That will take care of it.

Hi,
Some of the things you can do to remove "My Web Search"
1) Start Find, and search for My web search
If you find try delete it, right click and select delete.
2) Scan with an anti adware, anti virus tool and also get a registry cleaner. CCleaner registry cleaner will allow you to delete any files (better than Add/Remove)

cnet.com has tons of free downloads. I just had this problem and used the program Ashampoo. It worked great.
