| 1239519 | 2011-10-24 02:52:00 | Hi Guys I look after a friends laptop and she has installed Cursor Mania which came with My Web Search. She does not want these programs, as they tend to slow her machine down. I Have looked in My Control Panel - uninstall programs which everyone recommends, but they are not there. And I cannot find them under Msconfig ! Any other suggestions ? |

| 1239521 | 2011-10-24 11:33:00 | Try Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, or if she has MSSE, maybe try scanning the system with that. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||

| 1239525 | 2011-10-25 04:27:00 | Plenty of info on Google about it is.gd Yes but most of it is several years old (Googel is becoming useless)and says Go to Control Panel. And as I said in my OP it does not appear in Programs to be Uninstalled. I will try Malwarebytes and Spybot |

| 1239526 | 2011-10-26 01:00:00 | are you sure it's not in there by some other name? Select "My Web Search" (Product name)** or the "Product Name" you downloaded (ex: Webfetti) |
