    Default 'mywebface' toolbar {ITS GOT VIRUS'S DO NOT DOWNLOAD}

    Hey, so on the offers you get 7c for downloading the MyWebFace tool bar, Correct?

    WELL, you may have noticed it has a search engine on it called My Web search. This websearch is the virus. Even if you uninstall the toolbar it sticks to your hard drive, and won't come off. It took my dad MANY hours a few years ago to get rid of the virus.

    SO DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT AT ALL COSTS.

    I downloaded it like 5 times and haven't got a virus though. Unless my anti-virus removed that part?

    Yeah, its some sort of hijacking stupid thing which embeds into lots of stuff. I think its best to just make sure its off the computer since we don't need everybody with slow, virusfilled computers
