An unwanted tool bar "MYWEBSEARCH is plaguing me.Please advise how I remove it

Nice piece of Spyware you have there.
First things first, turn it off in Internet Explorer.
View > Toolbars > Uncheck.
Then you need to scan your system

To make sure everything is running fine run both anti virus and anti spyware apps in normal AND safe modes. (make sure that they are updated first ! ;)) (AVG is good and free AV)
(A couple of good removal tools are Spybot and Adaware)

ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall

Just a note; actively running two AV's on one machine can cause problems.
So if you are thinking about it make sure your current one is disabled first.
Same thing applies to online scanners as well.

Then remove any left over junk and clean the registry.
Removal of junk files is easy with CCleaner a free app that does exactly what.

You are right Ben, it is really a bloody spyware. I had it on my Office PC and I was unable to stop it running from IE. I had to sweep it with spyware and AV.
