I have Windows Xp, I read your article and did everything it said, I could not find the file in the Add/Remove program. Nor did I see it in my programs file. I tried the Internet Explorer Tools menu, I opened the Manage Add ons, I looked in every slot ("Show") and I did not see the "mwsbar.dll".
I don't think it exsist in my pc but it's always giving me this: "ERROR FOUND C:\PROGRA~\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin\MWSBAR.DLL not found". I don't understand why it's still trying to exe. this file when it doesn't exist... Please Help!

I have read all the articles on the subject of removing the spyware. I installed and ran Spybot. I deleted the BHO in "Manage Add On's" and I am still getting the same message on my start up screen: C:\Progrm~\mywebs~1\bar\4.bin\mwsbar.dll, Specified Module could not be found" The only difference I can see is that my message has a \4.bin\ in the line. What else can I do?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

If you install the diagnostic tool Hijack this and run the search it will pull back a list just find the error you in this list, tick the box and remove. And hopeully your problems will be solved.
