Good News. If you can manage the responsibility of regedit, the file C:Program FilesMyWay actually had an Uninstall Readme file that stated word for word which keys needed removal, then after restarting my computer I was able to delete the files. :)

iMesh now uses a My Seach Spyware toolbar call the iMesh Bar. It can be removed by the Add or Remove Programs but it still leaves spyware keys in the registry that can be removed by Spybot Search & Destroy. The iMesh forum claims that it is only adware and tells people that it is safe.

Removed it by going to Control Panel, Ad/Remove Programs, look for My Seach Bar and Remove, After you delete that. Go to Windows Explorer, Go to C: and go in Program Files look for My Way and delete the file.

A good program to get that will help you remove programs such as MY search bar is Hijackthis. Its will scan the registry for you and display all results for somebody that knows whats good and possible registry entries that could be spyware. Most but not all will be spyware. Have hijackthis scan your system and then copy and paste the bad and they will tell you what entries you can delete. Also to compliment this you should get a good adware/malware/spyware remover such as Adaware or Spybot search and destroy or microsoft anti spy

Here you go guys:

Send your thanks to Ad-Ware Remover Inc. I work for them!

Please follow the instructions below if you would like to remove My Search Installer.B manually. Please notice that you must follow the instructions very carefully and delete everything that is mentioned. In most cases the removal will fail if one single item is not deleted. If My Search Installer.B remains on your system after stepping through the removal instructions, please double-check by stepping through them again.

Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
Browse to the key:
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion RunOnce'
In the right pane, delete the value called 'SearchBar Installer', if it exists.
Exit the registry editor.
Restart your computer.
Delete the following file:
%ProgramsDir%MyWaymyBarMYSETP.EXE
Note: %ProgramsDir% is a variable. By default, this is C:Program Files.

Cheers All;

7. Problem by Guest. 2004-11-26 01:11:49

i am in the same boat guys! Add/remove doesn't work I need manual instructions! I can rewrite the registry if someone can tell me what to delete!

8. Same prob. by Guest. 2004-10-25 15:10:14

I cannot remove my search from add/remove programs, can someone tell me how to remove it besides going into registry and manually removing. Do i need a special spyware program?

9. Eileen by Guest. 2004-09-09 01:09:23

It would be nice if it was in add/remove.
It would also be nice it once the scanner had found a load of spy ware that you could remove it without having to go back on line to purchace the tool.
