After a couple of hours I discovered a way to fully and easily remove My Way from your computer. The solution amazingly comes from none other than a Dell Support Website.
Hope it helps!

Whenever I get a new computer from Dell now.... I'm kinda afraid to turn it on for the first time! :surprised Who knows what the heck Dell loads their systems with now....... maybe one day someone will turn on their new computer and it'll blow up or something. That is why I would reformat a brand new Dell computer before using it!
Have A Great Day!!!!!! ;-)

Hi,
I am getting troubled with "My Way searh assistant". I have tried uninstalling, then running the Spybot, Spywareblaster, Adaware. Restarted the m/c. Still "My Way searh assistant" is listed in my programs, and no button to uninstall it. I ran HijackThis, and the log is below.

There seems to be some "bonjour" files in the log (apprantly comes with iTunes). Is this also some harmful stuff?

Please help.

Hi raynoldz125.

First of all- welcome to Daniweb .

We ask that members not piggy-back questions on to a thread previously started by another member here in the Viruses, Spyware & other Nasties forum, (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum..._faq#faq_rules


Thanks for understanding.
