Two days ago got a new search called Web Search instead of
my MSN Search. I changed internet options to defaault; no
response. I called Web Search in Boca Raton Florida.
They emailed me a patch to remove Web Search;it doesn't
work. I run Ad-Aware every day. Have Windows ME. Any
suggestions on how to get rid of this? I have McAfee
Virus Scan but it never completes before computer reboots
itself. Thanks...

Also try running SpyBot, it works with AdAware, what one does not find the
other often does.
