Yes, Spybot - Search & Destroy basically finds this: -

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser\{07b18ea9-a523-4961-b6bb-170de4475cca} (Adware.MyWebSearch)

And doesn't remove it (although it says it has, but it just stays there and shows up again on the next search).

I've gone into the registry to try and remove it myself, but it just keeps on reappearing after it's been deleted.

Guess what folks I'm finally free of it.

I'm a dummy and I hadn't properly switched off the 'TeaTimer' option.

So once I deactivated that and ran 'Malware Bytes Anti Malware', it finally got shot of it.

So thanks again everyone.

[taffy1967]

Mind you I think I spoke to soon as once the TeaTimer is reactivated, the problem returns.

When you have got rid of the last file dont forget to restart your system restore.

I believe uninstalling 'Spybot - S&D' should clear the TeaTimer.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Well the TeaTimer is clear and it's looking good: -
