How do I remove MyWebSearch?

How do I remove MyWebSearch as my default search engine?

  • I usually search by typing keywords directly onto the navigation bar, and it usually leads to search results from Google. But now whenever I do that, it goes to a MyWebSearch Search Engine. I've tried searching for solutions online, and none of them seem to work. My default browser is Firefox. I've already tried the about:config, and the add/remove programs on the control panel, still no improvements. Help?

    Hello, This is the Customer Support Dept for the MyWebSearch toolbar here to provide accurate information regarding the MyWebSearch toolbar. Help for this toolbar can be found at: http://helpint.mywebsearch.com With select versions of the My Web Search, Firefox search settings are not restored to their default value when uninstalling. We are currently working to resolve this, however in the meantime you can manually restore your browser's settings by following the directions below: 1. Open your Firefox browser and type the following into the addressbar: about:config 2. You may see a warning message, please click the "I'll be careful, I promise" button 3. You will see a long list of browser settings, scroll down the page until you find keyword.URL (listing is in alphabetical order). The keyword.URL should reference mywebsearch in its value. 4. Highlight this line by left clicking on it once, and then rightclick to bring up the menu options 5. Select "Reset" from the menu, and entry will be reset to its default value (www.google.com/search...) 6. Close the browser, and reopen it.

Left click on the button next to the search field on the left. (it is usually a magnifying glass to the left of where you can type in the search words). THis is to the RIGHT of your URL bar. There you can go to MANAGE SEARCH ENGINES and go from there.
