How can I remove MaxWebSearch

Hi

I have no idea how or when this annoying web search got onto my computer but every time I go to make a search they dominate the search with ads they serve.

I believe they are also capable of watching every move I make on the web and serve ads to me as they think fit. I have run a spybot scan ( licensed version ) but nothing came up.

Any help or ideas please?

Hi and welcome


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

(use correct version for your system.....Which system am I using?)


Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
• It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
• Please copy and paste log back here.
• The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.
