MyWebSearch Adware – M3SRCHMN.EXE

M3srchmn.exe and mswbar.dll install with the MyWebSearch adware program. You'll generally find these files in your c:\Program Files\MyWebS~1\bar\1.bin\ folder. The MyWebSearch toolbar does add search features but the toolbar also hijacks search results to it's controlling server at mywebsearch.com. The real danger is that this toolbar may allow other programs 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: m3srchmn.exe, 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: s4bar.dll, mysrchas.dll, NPMyWay.dll, and mwsbar.dll.

Finally, go to your "Startup Programs" tab and remove: m3srchmn.exe, mwsoemon.exe, s42ns.exe, s4bareq.exe, and my2ns.exe. If running WinPatrol 8.x or later, right click each file and select "Delete file on Reboot". Finally, reboot your system and then make sure the files are gone.
