How to Get Rid of Registry Keys for MyWebSearch
MyWebSearch is a search toolbar, created by Fun Web Products, that claims to improve the browsing experience and is included in the suite of software programs including Cursor Mania, Smiley Central and the MyWay Portal. Many users report that it does the exact opposite and slows both the browser and computer down. You can remove the toolbar from your computer using the included uninstaller, but traces of MyWebSearch are still left in your computer through the registry. The registry stores configuration data for the operating system and programs on your computer. Take a few moments to delete the keys from your registry to remove every trace of MyWebSearch.
