MyWebSearch is a advertising Browser Helper Object. It consists of an add-on to Internet explorer that tracks the text users put into a search field. Based on that text, MyWebSearch displays a series of results run through Ask.com.

The BHO hijacks a user's homepage temporarily, changing it to MyWebSearch.com, a portal page that hosts the search field. Though this can be changed back, it still constitutes an aggressive advertising practice. MyWebSearch can also manifest as a voluntarily downloaded toolbar that displays links to purportedly useful service and also hosts an Ask.com search field.

MyWebSearch, along with its similarly titled companion app., MyTotalSearch, was published by Ask.com when it was still called AskJeeves.com. The search field in the BHO do not engage in any direct monitoring per se. Instead, it simply funnels more users to Ask.com, thereby increasing the likelihood that a user will click on a sponsored link and create revenue.

What is a Adware?  
On TV there are commercials. On a computer, there is adware, programs that advertise for things unrelated to the featured site.



Given this definition, it's not hard to realize there is benign or even (arguably) good adware. These programs manifest as advertising blocks on certain websites that allow that domain to be free for the host and/or the service to be free for the user.



Some adware is just as benign, but its instillation skirts an ethical borderline. These adware programs will come bundled with other software but won't state their presence upfront. Sometimes the agreement to post ads will not appear in the download wizard, and sometimes it will only appear buried in the End User License Agreement (the long I Accept contract that few read in full or not at all.)



Finally, there is adware that is undoubtedly malware. This variety is installed unwittingly by a user or comes secretly bundled to another program. The secretive nature of this adware thus gets it categorized as a type of Trojan. These are the most notorious. They do things as invasive as hijacking browser windows to steering you to websites or unspecified homepages. The most well known of this type is the classic popup, an unrequested ad that flashes over other windows. Not only are these types of adware frustrating, due to the unscrupulousness of their installation, these programs often don't come alone and are accompanied by other forms of spyware that monitor your web use.
