MyWebSearch

[Danerd9]

Oh my gosh, MyWebSearch is everywhere, especially on Youtube!! You see ads like cartoonify yourself for free and stuff for Zwinky. I hate it. I can't believe how many noobs are going to fall for this. Most noobs say it's not even a virus or malware. I lose it when they say that. MyWebSearch was my 2nd virus. I installed the tool bar and it slowed down my comp, especially popular screensavers. Also the Frost animated wallpaper was crud too. So tell me about your experience with mywebsearch.

Bottom line I remove it from any computer I find it on....

Adblock Plus takes care of that for me

I am so surprised about how many people get infected by this or smiley central. Every once in a while I will see posts on security forums from a user about mywebsearch or Smiley Central being a false positive. Sometimes even though we tell them its not a FP they still install it.

I think more of this as a PUP than as a virus.

I'm not sure about this, but maybe you can use Merijn's CWS:

(as I said, I'm not sure if this will clean MyWebSearch )
