Can't remove it from add/remove list and ewido still blocks random.exe on startup. I assume it's becuase of this MyWay search program, but I'm unsure on how to delete it.

Hi and welcome to geekstogo :)

Please post me a HiJackthis log and I will take a look :)

Download HijackThis and post a logfile:
  • Download HijackThis.
  • Create a folder named "HijackThis". To create a folder:
    • Go to My Documents.
    • Right-click and select New> Folder.
    • Name the folder as "HijackThis".
  • Extract the contents of hijackthis.zip into the folder you've just created.
  • Open HijackThis.exe
  • Click on "Do a system scan and save a logfile".
  • After the scan is complete a Notepad window will popup.
  • In the Notepad window, go to Edit> Select all and then Edit> Copy.
  • Paste the log into your next reply.
Do NOT fix anything until we check your log. You can cause serious damage to your operating system if you fix a valid entry.


Thanks,

:tazz:

Thanks Excal, but looks like you'll be saving yourself some time with this one. Looked up "mywaysearchassistantremoval" and found that this line worked:

start>run MsiExec.exe /X{78d944d7-a97b-4004-ab0a-b5ad06839940}

Just to be on the safe side, here's my Hijackthis log.
