What were you doing when you got the error?

Hi,

This error often results when spyware scanners remove parts of My Websearch, My Way Search Assistant etc and often on Dell machines....

It's nothing to panic about and usually we fix it by either fixing the entry in Hijackthis or using something like Malwarebytes Antimalware or with this manual work:

Please click on Start, Click on Run and type the following in the open box and click OK
msconfig

Vista: In the Start Search field, type msconfig , and press Enter . The System Configuration window opens.

Or

Press and hold Windows logo key on keyboard and press R. It will open Run Window. Type the following in the open box and click OK

MSconfig

The System Configuration window opens.

Please click on Startup tab

Remove the check mark from entries related to Mywebsearch OR M3PLUGIN.DLL

Then click on Apply, Close and Please click on Exit without restart.

When the system restarts, you will see a message about System Configuration Utility. Click in the box for "Do not Show this message" and then click on OK.
