Its a toolbar people. Not malware.  ::) SpywareHunter is a joke of a program anyways. MBAM is far superior and FREE. Mywebsearch comes prepacked with other installers. You will find it in Add/Remove programs.

Didn't say you or the forum. I was referring to SpeedAgent. Essexboy is good at what he knows but there is no reason to over do it and rush in with the OTL. Education goes a long way. Also if he enables "PUP" and does a scan the Avast will see it. Either way its not an infection or malware related.
DavidR:
Sorry but SpeedAgent is trying to get rid of it.

Having tried a common tool AdwCleaner to remove the mywebsearch toolbar, it is back. So the suggestion to use OTL to try and find what is bring it back and eradicate that is more than justified.

If it is on your system and you didn't expressly want it then it is Unwanted and why SpeedAgent wants rid of it.
Aventador:
The toolbar can be remove via Add/Remove programs. Also remove it from Firefox and or Chrome by going into your add ons and removing it. Then reset your homepage and search engine. Its that easy. Just like the Ask toolbar.
