I personally would never install this crap on my machine. I also rate it as adware. As also your software does.

It brings up 60 traces of this on a quick scan. This is on my step mums pc.

Im trying to tlak her out of keeping it. She wont listen

Is it really adaware? There is not much info on the net about it.

But then again you list it for removed. so i tend to go with you.

I completly agree with you. If any one would be so kind to present to be some good evidence why not to keep it that i can show her il be very greatful.

Any search bar that allows 'Zwinky' as a companion program cannot be considered very good at all -

This program is in 'some ways' related to Bonzi Buddy that caused a lot of problems a few years ago - There were not many antivirus and antimalware programs to fully delete it at the time, and those who wanted to remove it were required to use manual removal -

Sorry AdvancedSetup if you wanted a researcher to be the first on this But I have seen these programs in previous years - Not Good -

MyWebSearch is adware. Most, if not all, scanners detect and remove it.

Some examples:

Just google "MyWebsearch adware" and you'll see that it is not recommended at all
