Any ideas as to how to stop this error from occurring. Something keeps changing the registry to load a file that was deleted upon cleaning.

[D.M.J.]

I uninstalled Lime Wire and the Yahoo/Google toolbars and the error has stopped occuring. I would assume that MyWebSearch is asscociated and bundled with the Yahoo toolbar but I could have uninstalled them one by one to pinpoint the culprit. None the less the problem is fixed and the puter is all better and then some.
