Next, open My Computer, Drive C, and double-click on the Program Files
folder
Right-click and delete the folders for:
-
FunWebProducts
-
MyWebSearch
MyWebSearch should now be completely uninstalled from your computer.
There will be some minor registry entries left behind by the uninstall,
however these can be cleaned up by running
SpyBot Search
and Destroy. SpyBot is also available online as a free download.
Good luck!!
