I have Windows ME. Searches by the following engines come up clean:
Webroot Spysweeper
C.A. eTrust
Spybot S&D
Lavasoft Adaware.
But when I run Panda Activescan (paid scan from the web), it identifies one entry that it calls a "hacking tool". Panda mouseover help for hacking tool is "tools to help someone take over your computer" Then in the log file it shows me:
Potentially unwanted tool:application/mywebsearch No disinfected HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{147A976E-EEE1-4377-8EA7-4716E4CDD239}
But it doesn't get rid of the file.
My two questions:
1 - Is it really Mywebsearch?
2 - Why didn't the others see it?
3 - Most important - how do I get rid of it? (there is no uninstall for mywebsearch in my uninstall menu).
