How Do I Remove My Web Search from my Win XP PC?
1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
2. In the open window, highlight 'My Web Search' and click on the Remove button.
Reset Internet Explorer to default settings
Reset Google Chrome to default settings
Reset Mozilla Firefox to default settings
If the steps above still don't work, you need to use a special tool (download link: http://www.icleansoftware.com/RemovalTool_Download.php) to clean this toolbar from your PC.
Hi Crazzymandy,
Thanks for your posting in FixYa.
Please do the following:
First, uninstall the My Web Search option
from Add/Remove Programs
1) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel
2) Double click on Add/Remove Programs
3) Find "My Web Search" in the
list of installed programs and click on Change/Remove to uninstall it. You may
also want to uninstall any of the following items associated with FunWebProducts.
· My Web Search (Smiley Central or FWP product as applicable)
· My
Way Speedbar (Smiley Central or other FWP as
applicable)
· My
Way Speedbar (AOL and Yahoo Messengers) (beta users
only)
· My
Way Speedbar (Outlook, Outlook Express, and IncrediMail)
· Search
Assistant - My Way
4) Reboot your Computer and run HijackThis
5) With HijackThis,
scan for and fix any of the entries shown above that may be remaining.
6) Next, open My Computer, Drive C, and
double-click on the Program Files folder
7) Right-click and delete the folders for:
· FunWebProducts
· MyWebSearch
8) MyWebSearch
should now be completely uninstalled from your computer.
9) There will be some minor registry
entries left behind by the uninstall, however these can be cleaned up by
running SpyBot Search
and Destroy or Ad-Aware
SE or left alone.
If unable to remove from control panel, then try to remove them after rebooting PC in Safe mode..
Hope this would help you a lot.
Dont forget to rank me up.
Have a nice day.
Best of Luck & Regards
