Sorry if this post is bad, I tried to get it in my original thread, but missed getting it in before it was closed:

When going through my "Add or Remove Programs" box, i see a "My Way Search Assistant", but there is no button to remove it.

Does anyone know what this is and/or if I can remove it without harming my comp?

You guys are extremely helpful and thank you.

I dont see it in the last log I helped you with you could remove that entry by opening Hijackthis click open the misc tools section > uninstall manager and removing the entry.

hmm, weird. It doesnt show up on the hijackthis list, but it is in my Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" list, but doesn't have a remove button.

Any ideas? It's not that big a deal, but thought I would ask.

Open HijackThis, click Config, click Misc Tools
Click "Open Uninstall Manager"
Click "Save List" (generates uninstall_list.txt)
Click Save, copy and paste the results in your next post.
