File purpose and description:
This is a program related to MyWebSearch and it is part of the software that includes programs such as cursor mania, smiley central, a website portal, etc. These can slow your computer down, even if they try to claim these are not adware or spyware related. If you downloaded and installed these things intentionally, you can leave them. If they arrived without your knowledge you can remove them as many of these come installed with other free software programs like greeting cards, cursor mania, etc., so you may not even realize they were installed on your computer! Mywebsearch, popular screensavers, free buddy icons, smiley central, cursor mania, etc. .... these all may install programs which are considered adware or spyware.


Yes I would remove all of them
