Hi,
My computer had been acting strange soooo I did an antivirus scan on McAffe and they are he ones who had found this virus on my computer. I had copied the name and found the file and moved it to my desktop. Probably not the most smartest thing Ive done, but I had tried everything to alter it and failed. My computer will not let me delete it. So I had done some research on this and some of the websites say it is in your System Restore. I looked in the system restore and it will not go back to beyond the date of where this virus was picked up which was back in July.

Many had said that that it is in your System restore and you should turn it off and work in safe mode to delete it, and your advice is to delete the added on searh engine...
do you have any comments on this?
Thank you in advanced

Most of you seem to be getting an error message because, in point of fact, you -don't- have that toolbar or its related products installed any longer. However, the computer likely has entries in an area known as the Registry, which tells the computer to load certain programs when you start up the computer. These entries which are still hidden away in your machine are what is causing the message to appear. It's looking for that program you no longer have, and, when it doesn't find it any longer, spits out that error message at you.

As one or two others have mentioned, HijackThis will help you remove those entries from the Registry. Another way to find these entries is by using the MSCONFIG system utility. At the Run... command type: msconfig and hit then click on the tab that says 'Startup' and find any related entries in there and disable it.

Cheers.

Hello Leo,
When my computer finishes booting, I have a RUNDLL error come up on screen.

"Error Loading cmicnfg.cpl
The specified module could not be found."

My system is running XP with SP2.
I have no idea where this comes from, hope you are able to help.
I tried taking a screen shot of the fault, unfortunately couldn't paste it to this query.
Regards,
Rod

Sorry what I meant to say was that you will need to find the error that you have in the list. Then click to the tick box on the left and then remove it. It worked for me.

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

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!

Using Win XP
1. No trace of "My Web Search" etc in Add/Remove programs,or in I.E./Tools/Manage Add-ons
2. Downloaded "HIJACKTHIS"...Found the offending line on the first pass...Deleted it in 2 seconds flat....First Class!
