You might find MyWebSearch in Add/Remove Programs: check there for that and other applications that you don’t recognise.

Try an anti-spyware scanner too: plenty of free ones to choose from.

Ad-Aware Free
Spybot Search & Destroy
SUPERAntiSpyware Free
Spyware Terminator

Hi coonsanders and FwF,

This well could be a vundo infection together with a Flash infection:
Run this removal tool: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.vundo.removal.tool.html
And run Flah Disinfector: http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exe
