MyWebSearch – How to uninstall and remove this adware

I recently came across a program called MyWebSearch. I thought it was part of a download. After researching it, I found out it just tacked-on a program. To my amazement, it got past Norton, AVG, and Windows Defender. Well, it was a hijacker. It took pages to its variant, even set the default search to MyWebSearch. This thing was nasty. It buries it self to so many different places making it virtually impossible to delete. You delete a file, think it’s done, open up IE and it duplicates it! Well, I really have been trying to get a solution. After some more research, I found that the solution is to download BHODemon, which doesn’t delete files, but disables the .DLL. Since the author no longer supports it (because of a house fire), you can download it below. MyWebSearch is found in a lot of popup ad downloads. If you’ve downloaded programs from popup windows, like CursorMania, you probably acquired MyWebSearch there.
