Posted: September 27, 2011

My Way Search Assistant is a potentially unwanted program that installs itself as a web browser toolbar that claims to provide users with access to valuable features and links. However, the quick links that the My Way Search Assistant Toolbar provides often lead to popular websites like Facebook and eBay, or to websites affiliated with Mindspark Interactive Network Inc., the toolbar's publisher.

Users who install the My Way Search Assistant may do this because they think that this search assistant will improve their ability to search the web and find the most relevant online results. Computer users not finding much use of My Way Search Assistant's features may utilize an antimalware program to remove the program automatically. Additionally, My Way Search Assistant may be eliminated by going through the Windows Control Panel for a simple uninstallation process.
