ive got a toolbar keep appearing on internet explorer and i think its called mysearchnow

I used to get one of them. I went to 'control panel' then 'add/remove programmes' and found it on there. Deleted it, and it never came back

ill give that a try, lets hope it works for me

cheers

First off, run Housecall Anti-virus: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Then use CWShredder: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe

Then run ad-aware: http://www.lavasoft.de/res/aaw6.exe or similar.

If it's still there, do the following:
Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \ {014DA6C1-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10}', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \ {014DA6C9-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10}', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Browser Helper Objects \ {014DA6C1-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10}', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Browser Helper Objects \ {014DA6C9-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10}', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall \ My Search Uninstall \ DisplayName', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall \ My Way Speedbar Uninstall \ DisplayName', if it exists.
Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Uninstall \ MyWaySearchAssistant \ DisplayName', if it exists.
Browse to the key:
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Toolbar'
In the right pane, delete the value called {014DA6C9-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10}, if it exists.
Browse to the key:
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Toolbar \ WebBrowser'
In the right pane, delete the value called {014DA6C9-189F-421a-88CD-07CFE51CFF10}, if it exists.
Exit the registry editor.
Restart your computer.
Delete the following folders:
%ProgramsDir%\MySearch\
%ProgramsDir%\MyWay\
Note: %ProgramsDir% is a variable (?). By default, this is C:\Program Files.
Start Microsoft Internet Explorer.
In Internet Explorer, click Tools -> Internet Options.
Click the Programs tab -> Reset Web Settings.

If it's still there, use a program called HijackThis: http://www.spychecker.com/download/download_hijackthis.html and post the logfile. (don't start deleting stuff with this one!)

I've been doing some cleaning recently

won't some of those registry keys be different on different PCs?

Ooh, point. That's only on XP up there methinks. But should be where all the mywebsearch keys are tho. That's also why I said to use HijackThis if that doesn't work. Remember to restart the pc to see if it comes back.

back up your registry too. ALSO turn off system restore once it's removed and reboot and clean again. Once it's gone - turn it back on.

Get a proper web browser instead of using the pile of shit that is internet explorer, i use mozilla, far better than IE get it here www.mozilla.org.

Buy Windows 1st!
