Hi everyone,
I have just been on this computer and there seems to be problems with Spyware. Something called MyWebSearch appears in random places and even in my Hijack This log. Spyware scans haven't seemed to fix it in the past and at the moment this computer is running painfully slow. If anyone could give me directions to help clean this computer and hopefully speed it up I would REALLY appreciate it.

Here is my Hijack This log:

    Fix those entries then find and delete the bold folder:
    C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch\

    Then reboot your computer and post a new log.

    Fix those entries with HijackThis then find and delete the bold folder:
    C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch\

    Then reboot your computer and post a new log.

    I followed your instructions, however there was no such folder as:
    C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch\

    Your log is now clean!

    As precaution measures for the future, please follow these steps to ensure that your computer stays clean and secure:
    1. Always have AntiVirus software running - Having an AntiVirus is very important and can protect you in the future from all kinds of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    2. Keep your AntiVirus program updated - Without having an updated AntiVirus program you will be susceptible to any form of new malware as it is released. If your AntiVirus software has the option of Automatic Updates you should enable it. If not, visit the producer's website at least once a week and download any updates for the product.

    3. Use a Firewall - Using a firewall is essential in the Internet today. Having one at default settings will block intruders from accessing your computer and can block new programs from installing without your consent.

    4. WindowsUpdate - Make sure that you keep your computer updated by visiting [link=http://www.windowsupdate.com]windowsupdate.com[/link] weekly, and downloading any critical updates. Many of these updates are against hackers and malware installations. Without all critical updates you will be susceptible to many of the spyware creator's tricks to get you to install their software. Download and install all critical updates and reboot your computer. Continue this until all critical updates have been installed.

    5. Anti-Spyware Software - Spybot - Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware SE

      Both of these programs are free and reccomended by many anti-spyware professionals. You should download them from the links below, keep them updated, and scan weekly.

      Spybot - Search & Destroy
      Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition 1.06

    6. Secure Internet Explorer - Spyware Shooter is a free program which I developed for the cause of blocking malicious websites from installing spyware onto your computer. Please check for updates weekly and download any new releases to make sure that you are safe against newly-disovered websites.

    How to say "thanks":
    1. Donations are not accepted - At Short-Media we do not accept donations. If you have found this website helpful, you can contribute in the following ways.
    2. Stick Around - Without users like you, Short-Media would not be as successful as it is today. One way you can thank us is to stick around the forums. Even if you are not a computer professional you can learn by reading past topics in the forums, or if you do not feel comfortable helping, there are a few forums for non-computer-related topics.
    3. Refer Friends - If you know anyone who is having problems with their computers, or just needs a place to chill online, they would make a great addition to the Short-Media community.
    4. Fold! - Folding is a safe and easy way to help find a cure for fatal diseases such as Alzheimer's. You can learn more about folding at the topic "[link=http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3"]Everything About Folding@Home[/link]"
