    hi,

    i have microsoft anti-spyware installed on my computer and recently, everytime I boot my computer, i get a window telling me that it has found the threat "MyWebSearch" on the computer. I select remove and it successfully removes the threat, but then exactly the same thing happens again the next time i reboot my computer. I've tried running virus scans and anti-spyware scans and they find nothing.

    Please help

    Andy
