Just to be clear (and I will only say this one more time), Spybot does not do a good job of removing our software. The best (and only) way to accurately remove our software is by using the Add/Remove Programs control panel.

Kirk,
As an IT Professional that spends a significant amount of time dealing with your CRAPware, I respectfully ask you to stop lying. MyWebSearch/FunWebProducts/Zwinky/SmileyCentral are well documented as AdWare/MalWare (i.e. CRAPware). It's no coincidence that people who install your MyWebSearch based products start experiencing problems shortly thereafter.
Your uninstaller DOES NOT in fact do a complete uninstall, and as another poster stated, leaves a significant amount of garbage behind in the registry.
This MyWebsearch stuff also screwed up my PC and I did not download zwinky or any thing else mentioned - I also struggled to get rid of it, through add remove and all that but one thing that did help was MalwareBytes Antimalware. You get it from majorgeeks.com, it also removes a load of other junk that slows down and corrupts pcs.
While this thread is very old, 2 years in fact, I see that folks continue to post here. I will totally agree with Dragonf1re on MBA-M. We have a link right HERE on this very forum for this program.
It can also be downloaded directly from HERE which is the link given on the website of Malwarebytes.org the developer of this program.
