Thank you aegis1, but I been there already!
I checked and looked there, see the problem is,

when I go to Control Panel then Add/Remove Problems, I clearly see My Web Search, and when I click it (to highlight it) there SHOULD be a button that says to Remove, but it Does not,

it just have the name, but nothing else... like you know for someone else you may want to remove it, you first click on it, and then you click that button, but for my case there is NO button to remove.... so i dont know what to do!

Anita0408, a Google Search for 'MyWebSearch removal' has manual removal instructions. It can be removed without using Add/remove Programs in the Control Panel.

But maybe one of the programs suggested above will make it easier.

From years ago I remember that adawareaway is malware. Unless they fixed it I would avoid it.
