Aw hell

[lordairgtar]

I got PC trouble. I can't get rid of the Mywebsearch search engine. I tried to follow the instructions on several sites but it confuses me. I want my Google back. I really don't want to haul this thing into the shop and have them do it.

[wikked]

Knee deep in that donkey midget lesbìan piss porn? :P

1. First go to add/remove programs and remove Mywebsearch.

2. Download & run this: http://www.pchell.com/downloads/HijackThis.exe

After it's done scanning:

Tick any box that has the following similar entries & click "fix":

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

Reboot.
Should fix it.

Great, mine only says Add programs. Now what? Been messing with this for several days. looked everywhere and can't find the remove function.

[lordairgtar]

I did all that and the damn search engine is still there.

[Goat Roper]

Spybot Search and Destroy? Have we tried that yet?

[lordairgtar]

I will

[Goat Roper]

I will

Just make sure you update the libraries to the latest and greatest. It may want to finish the scan after a reboot as well if there are any processes locked.

[CarrotTop]

ccleaner then run hijack and spybot search and destroy.

[lordairgtar]

Did the hijack, spybot search and destroy and the damned mywebsearch is still there. I'm ready to throw this damned thing out the window. i wasted over an hour waiting for scans, updates, downloads and other shit.

an hour...thats it? When I run a scan I leave it on all night because I have so many files lol.

[lordairgtar]

I don't do much besides go on forums and look up stuff on the internet and pay bills. No gaming or a lot of music downloads.

[CarrotTop]

ccleaner

And this

You have MyWebSearch installed on your computer and its time for it to be removed! Okay, lets get this off there. There is the manual way and the automated way. We will take the automated way because its fast and easy.

1.First download Malware bytes:
http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button

2.Then install Malware bytes, after its installed run updates.

3. Run a quick scan

4. Remove all infections

5. Reboot

6. Run a defrag and clean all temp files. I recommend using ccleaner and Defraggler.
www.ccleaner.com
www.defraggler.com

7. Reboot

8. That should be it.

[Josepy]

malware bytes does work for this. I have done it already.

Did it....not working...still there...getting gun to shoot PC

[CarrotTop]

Don't know then.. Worked for me and others.. Maybe it loves you and wants to stay? lol

[lordairgtar]

Just went through the whole defrag and clean thingy. Still there. I'm going to bed now. Computers suck. Thanks for the help all you guys.:)

Start... Run... type in appwiz.cpl

[Silver86]

try running those programs in safe mode?

[Arigmaster]

Locate the mwsoemon.exe in your computer... Change the name to mwsoemon.exx and that should disable it. Some of these trash programs are near impossible to remove once they hit your pc but changing the extension will stop them from running and hijacking other programs.

[lordairgtar]

Wikkid...tried that, doesn't show the mywebsearch.
Silver86...don't know what that is or how to find it.
Arigmaster...I can't find that either.

[subliminal1284]

When all else fails, wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows.

[lordairgtar]

That's probably what I'll have to do, I guess. I'd take it in and let the nerds have at it, but I am poor right now with going back to 26 hour work weeks.

[Arigmaster]

PM me with your number and I will coach you through it... Or if you are local I can fix it in about 20 min.
