MyWebSearch Adware – F3SCRCTR.DLL

F3scrctr.dll is a browser toolbar that installs with the MyWebSearch adware program. You may see it packaged as a free screensaver or wallpaper tool. The toolbar does add search features but the search results you see will include advertisements provided by mywebsearch.com. The real danger is that this toolbar may allow other controls to be downloaded without your approval.

We'd recommend removing it. Please go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove any of these that are present: "My Search Bar", "My Web Search Bar", "Popswatter", "SmileyCentral", "My Mail Stamp", "Search Assistant", "My Speedbar" and "Fun Web Products Easy Installer".

Next, maximize WinPatrol and go to your "Active Tasks" tab. Kill any of the following files that appear there: m3skin.dll, mwsoeplg.dll, mwsoestb.dll, f3restub.dll, f3scrctr.dll, f3reprox.dll, f3popswt.dll, f3htmlmu.dll, f3cjpeg.dll, mwsoemon.exe, s4bar.dll, s42ns.exe, s4bareq.exe, my2ns.exe, mysrchas.dll, NPMyWay.dll, and mwsbar.dll.

Next, please click on your "IE Helpers" tab. Remove any of the files you find there.

Finally, go to your "Startup Programs" tab and remove: mwsoemon.exe, s42ns.exe, s4bareq.exe, and my2ns.exe.
