Can anyone help? Running MSAS gives the impression that
it is removing spyware but as soon as it finishes and
Explorer re-starts I get the Warning! from MSAS that it
is re-installing itself. Is there a hidden file that
gives the instructions to re-install after every use of
MSAS???
 
From Andy:
I suspect you have something installed from fun web
products if thats the case you should remove this as soon
as possible.

Open 'Add/Remove Programs' in the Control Panel. Select
the 'My Search Bar' (MySearch variant), 'MyWay Speed Bar'
(MyWay) or 'My Web Search Bar' (MyWeb) entry and
click 'Remove'. For the MyWeb variant, be sure to also
remove 'Fun Web Products Easy Installer'.



The products related to this are :

MY WEB SEARCH BROWSER
MYWEBSEARCH
SMILEYCENTRAL
CURSOR MANIA
FUN BUDDY ICONS H
HISTORYSWATTER
MY INFO
MY MAIL NOTIFIER
MY MAIL SIGNATURE
MY MAIL STAMP
MY FUN CARDS
MY MAIL STATIONARY
POPSWATTER
POPULARSCREENSAVERS
SEARCH ASSISTANT

MyWeb is a IE toolbar providing search features, and a
homepage-/search-hijacker, targeted at the sites run by
MyWay.


If you can remove this from the add/remove screen You can
then reset your home page (Internet Options->General-
Start Page) if it has been changed, and search settings
Click to expand...
(Internet Options->Programs->Reset web settings).
