error message n its a spyware. advised removal comes with windows live toolbar installed wid msn messanger

For those who get the MWSBAR.DLL error at startup. I had the same problem and here is how I got rid of it. Go to the link below and re-install MyWebSearch Bar. After installing, close internet explorer and the re-open it. There will now be a MyWebSeach button in the tool bar. Click on this and a menu pops up. On this menu is "Uninstall MyWebSearch". Click on this to uninstall it. Again close internet explorer and re-open it. The tool bar is gone and error will be gone too. At least it worked for me.
