    How to remove myway.mywebsearch

    After a complete scan of my system, my anti virus showed me a adware namely MyWay.MyWebSearch. I asked my antivirus to delete it but it won't work. I even tried scanning in Safe Mode, but that to didn't helped any way. I have also deleted the relevant registry entry in regedit - but it keep returning. Any ideas how to remove myway.mywebsearch from my pc?

    Download KillBox. Run KillBox and check the box that says 'End Explorer Shell While Killing File'. Next click on 'Delete on Reboot'. Copy the below files and go back to KillBox. Go to File->Paste from Clipboard and then hit the button with a red circle and white X. Confirm to delete and when asked if you want to reboot, say Yes:

    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\sysfile.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\popcaploader.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\popcaploader.inf
    C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files\ATPartners.inf
    C:\WINDOWS\wnad.dn

    Restart
