Error on startup

[Jeff T.]

I keep getting this on startup: Error loading
C:\PROGRA~\MYWEBS~\bar\4.bin\M3PLUGIN.DLL
I just click OK and it goes away until the next startup.
Is there anyway I can make it not come up at all?

An easy one. Uninstall that filthy "MyWebSearch" and you should be good to go.

I can't find MyWebSearch anywhere on the computer.

I can't find MyWebSearch anywhere on the computer.

Well, it clearly was there and has not been completely removed. You just
need to manually remove the references to its launcher.

Run MSCONFIG and look for the MyWebSearch references, note where they occur
(in the Registry or startup folders) then go there and remove them.

It's a good idea to look in the Registry for any other MyWebSearch keys and
remove them, as well as checking for the MyWebSearch folders under Program
Files - remove them if they are there.

I went to MSCONFIG, I wasn't real sure of where to look and I didn't want to
mess with things that I didn't know anything about but as far as I could see
it wasn't in there.

Click Start, Run, type REGEDIT, click OK. Press the Home key, press F3,
type the name of the file into the search pane. Click "Find Next", and
when located, delete the reference to the file. Press F3 to continue
the search.

You can click File, Export, and save the entry to the Desktop. If you
remove it and there's a problem, double-click the .reg file you exported
to the Desktop and it'll be added to the registry again. You can create
a restore point before editing the registry too.

You could click Start, Run, type MSCONFIG, click OK, click the StartUp
tab, and deselect the item(s). When you restart the computer, you will
be warned that you're running in the Diagnostic mode; click to not alert
you again, and OK out. You won't see the message again. But I think
it's best to just remove the references from the registry.

How do I delete it? It's supposed to be in program files bit I can't find

 

[PaulM]

Go here and download this file and run it. It will write a text file on your
desktop with a list of programs that are running in startup.

How do I delete it?

The instructions I posted tell you how to delete the entry from the
registry using REGEDIT.
