Sure seems that way,
Lets see if this gets rid of it,

·Click the Start button
·Click on Run
·In the Open field, type regedit and click OK.
·Double-click on the following folders in this order:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
·Under the Uninstall key, find the “My Way Search Assistant” that you want to delete.
·Right-click on them and click Delete to get rid of them.
·Click Yes if you are sure you want to delete them, and repeat until you are finished.
·When finished, close the Registry.

Either this thing is called something else, or it just isn't on my computer. Thanks for your continued help though.

Everything else seem to be working normaly ?

Download the following program, For keeping crap off your system to begin with
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted pests. Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox. Restrict the actions of potentially dangerous sites in Internet Explorer.
Download Spyware Blaster

Keep Ad-aware and Spybot handy, Check them for updates prior to running and run them weekly
Same with your Anti Virus,

For an added check run an online virus scan, you can use one of the 2 below,
TrendMicro's HouseCall
ActiveScan

Be sure and give the Temp folders a cleaning out now and then as well, Make sure after you clean your Temp files to empty out your Recycle bin as well.
For ease use the following program
Download and install Cleanup
Run "Cleanup" and when it has finished, Reboot

Remeber to Check Windows for updates

Probably a good time to create a new restore point See Here Name it clean or something like that,
