MyWebSearch is still not completely cleared of charges in annoying behaviors, as well as obfuscated way of installation. A number of security solutions still contain its description in their databases as potentially unwanted and annoying threat. On the other hand, other security tools have long since got it excluded from database of infections and suspicious entries; others never reported the program as any sort of infection.
The program, whether infection or not, adds a toolbar named MyWay Search Assistant, MyAllSearch, MyWay Speedbar, MyWeb Searchbar, My Search Bar 3 as embedded line to one or more browsers.
