When I run MSAS I consistently receive a message that my
default search page is being hijacked by myway.com. This
happens on my recently purchased Dell Inspiron laptop and
I actually had the problem awhile back on my Dell PDA
which after a couple of years of use decided to go to the
(myway) page and never leave. I had to wipe the thing
and reinstall the CF network card drivers to get rid of
it. I currently have it BLOCKED but what type of exe. is
a hijack and is there a way to PERMANENTLY remove the
sucker ?

ALSO, You might want to check the grammar in your
notifications and alerts... I know MSAS is a beta and I'm
sure you want to get these things straight. I have a
screenshot of the alert if anyone is interested

Hi frank myway may be installed on your pc so checking
for these might help :

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).

MyWay Search Assistant is installed at the factory by DELL.

Usually under Start, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs
there is an entry where you can uninstall it.
