Hi Yorkey2

This is Jason with Mindspark Interactive Network Customer Support. We would like to assure you that contrary to what you may have read or heard, My Web Search® and its related suite of products is not and has never been malware, spyware, or adware. In fact, the My Web Search toolbar has been tested by top security software companies and has repeatedly been shown to be free of any threats.

The toolbar can be removed using the standard Add/Remove functionality of your Windows operating system. For step by step instructions, please visit: http://www.mindspark.com/main/toolbar-info/remove-mws/removemwsinst/index.shtml

Important: It is not advisable to manually delete any files or registry entries, or to use 3rd party software which may leave artifacts behind.

Please note that you will continue to see the My Web Search toolbar until you close and reopen all instances of your Web browser. A reboot will be required to complete the removal process.

If you need further assistance in removing our software from your computer, please do not hesitate to contact us at customersupport[at]help.mindspark.com.

We hope this helps, and that in the future, you will take a second look at the My Web Search toolbar.

For further information on the My Web Search toolbar, or Mindspark, please see http://www.mindspark.com/main/toolbar-info/index.shtml
