Hi notech.
MessenPass is a password recovery tool that reveals the passwords of several instant messenger applications. I cannot confirm this yet, but it should be a legitimate application. MessenPass can only be used to recover the passwords for the current logged-on user on your local computer. It cannot be used for grabbing the passwords of other users.
CounterSpy detected this application as
GunnSpy v0.52 Backdoor,RePass Password Cracker/Stealer andI-Spy (the_seed) Password Cracker/Stealer.
Hold on which I contact Sunbelt and see what they have to say about this. It may be a false positive for all we know. Meanwhile, let's deal with MyWebSearch.
1) Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel
2) Double click on Add/Remove Programs
3) Find "My Web Search" in the list of installed programs and click on Change/Remove to uninstall it. You may also want to uninstall any of the following items associated with FunWebProducts.
