mysearchnow

[Dan]

Hi,

I have recently found that 'mysearchnow' is on my computer - it adds a
search bar to my browser, resets the homepage, adds shortcuts to my dekstop,
and is something that i didnt install and do not want. The target of it is
C:/Program Files/Internet Explorer, but i cannot find any files related to
it in this folder. I have restored to any earlier time but it still appeared
after restore.

Does anyone know of any way that i can get rid of it?

Thanks,

Dan
