Somehow I got this toolbar MyWebbSearch, it say's in order to remove or
disable, go to Add/Remove and do it there, but I can not find it
anywhere even by looking for it on the registry, I emailed the company
**IAC**?, and got no response, do any of you a way to remove this toolbar???

You need to download "CWShredder" and in case it doesn't remove it, you'll
need another application such as "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware" or "A Squared
Free". Also look in the Run registry keys and delete the related value, also
look in the the MSConfig Startup programs (in case there's some related
application) Start\Run\type; msconfig and hit Enter, next go to the Startup
tab and uncheck suspicious programs if any are found. Also use "CCleaner" to
delete Cookies, Temporary Internet files, System Temp and user Temp files.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Then run Spybot Search & Destroy:

To remove any leftover registry entries,download & install Regseeker & click the
"Find in Registry" & type in MyWebSearch (no spaces) & let it scan.
I would stay away from the "Clean the registry" feature of the program & just use it
for removing *specific* registry entries & always have the "backup before deletion"
box checked.
