Summary: Mysearch.com is apparently spyware that's very difficult to get rid of.

I found a good overview of my-search along with some of its variants, and removal instructions here on this page at doxdesk.com.

I'm running on Windows XP and when the computer starts up, I get the message: "checking system file on D: NTFS. I've let the computer finish the chkdsk, but the message still comes up every time I start up.
Thank you so much.
