If youve HAD nasties on recently
I recommend downloading MALWAREBYTES

UPDATE and FULL SCAN

If it should find anything then 'delete' them and post the log here

Hi crystal
To prevent MYWEBSEARCH appearing again I suggest downloading SPYWARE BLASTER
http://www.download.com/SpywareBlaster/3000-8022_4-10196637.html
UPDATE and run have the program protect everything it can

Somone who uses your computer has tried to do something 'dodgy' (Probably trying to watch a 'video' or suchlike )

MYWEBSEARCH has been ALLOWED into internet explorer to run it and therfore infected your computer

Enable everything, yes

No, your computers fine. But spywareblaster should make sure your never infected with it again
