Hi, could someone tell me how to remove the following item in "Add or Remove Programs": Search Assistant - My Search.

Each time I tried to remove, it will come out with this error message:

Error loading C:\PROG~1\MyWay\SrchAsst\1.bin\mysrchas.dll

Please advise, your help is very much appreciated.

How do I "uninstall" the My Search Bar?
You can easily uninstall the My Search Bar using the instructions below:
• Close all open Web browsers
• From the "Start" menu in Windows, select "Control Panel", and then select "Add/Remove Programs"
• Select "My Search Bar"
• Click "Change/Remove"
• Select "Search Assistant - My Search"
• Click "Change/Remove"

The My Search bar will be uninstalled. However, if you reopen your Web browser, and still see the My Search Bar, you may need to restart your computer for the uninstall process to be completed.

Because you have a version that was bundles with another program you have down loaded



MySearch Bar.B

Overview
MySearch Bar.B, a variant of MySearch Bar, is an Internet Explorer toolbar and address bar search redirector. MySearch Bar.B is typically installed when you download other applications, such as the Morpheus peer-to-peer software. When testing Morpheus 3.4 there was no option to opt-out, you will get MySearch Bar.B whether you want it or not. MySearch Bar.B has an update feature that may run without explicit notice.

If you decide to search in the address bar or in the search toolbar you will be taken to mysearch.myway.com which display a few sponsored links and your search results. The advertising is modest. MySearch Bar.B does not open pop-up windows.

"The MySearch and MyWay variants have been bundled with Grokster, Morpheus, WeatherBug, and software from mgshareware.com. MySearch has also been installed by the FavoriteMan parasite. The MyWeb variant is bundled with software (Popswatter, SmileyCentral, My Mail Stamp) from "Fun Web Products" (the same people as MyWay)." Source
