    Some antivirus companies detect it like an adaware, some don't.


    The file will be analyzed by a VR.

    Dear sir. Older versions of MyWebSearch were close to Adware and were cataloged and detected as such.


    Newer versions have been changed and are no longer considered Adware. They are installed only on user request or in a bundle with other software and only show ads in a dedicated space inside the toolbar or as stated to the user.


    Detection for these newer versions has been removed as per developer request.


    Please also note that older versions take data from the MyWebSearch website and they no longer instruct the application to have any Adware like behavior.


    Some descriptions have not been eliminated from the Encyclopedia. I will check them out soon.


    Thank you.
