  1. Its quite easy actually.  My Web Search isn't exactly spyware but I like to call it err...Annoyance-ware.

    Click on Start -> Settings -> Control Panel

    Double click on Add/Remove Programs

    Click on 'My Web Search' and remove it.

    Download HijackThis

    Restart your computer

    Use HijackThis and scan/fix these files:
