    Smile PUPSC removal method

    If you're still having problems with MyWay.MySearch PUPSC removal, I did a recent scan and had 181 problems listed although Norton and McAfee didn't acknowledge a problem. Since Spybot wouldn't premit me to remove via Recovery, I reran the program as an Administrator. When only a portion was removed I restarted the computer, reran the program and successfully removed the remaining programs. This is a time consuming method but it works. I've run into the problem on three laptops and used this method successfully on each. Be prepared, if you have a lot on your computer, to devote 2-3 hours for cleaning up the malware.

    Hi maitrise,

    to Safer Networking Forums.

    Good method.

    If one of you detects new variants of MyWebSearch, contact me (HJT or DDS logfiles would be good) and I'll create detection rules for TeamSpybot.

    Take care.

    Happy Safe Surfing!
    Best regards - Beste Grüße,

    Matt

    PUPS stands for Possibly UnPopular Software

    The "C" is specific to Spybot and stands for "Most active"


    Does that help you?
