Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\MYWEBS~1\bar\1.bin...

This error message came up on system start for weeks although didn't seem to bother anything other then annoy me. After searching the web for "supposed" fixes and "suspected" malware %26amp; virus alerts I figured out the MWSBAR on the end meant My Web Bar from the My Web Search at Smiley Central (the place with 100+ different Smiley faces for emails, messenger and such) its NOT malware or anything to harm your PC at all, What happened to others is the same thing I did. Downloaded the My Web Search Toolbar (yes another toolbar) at the top of your screen in addition to explorer %26amp; yahoo %26amp; all the other toolbars you already had when you downloaded those cool little smileys then decided you didn't want it %26amp; deleted it or part of the file without uninstalling it correctly THUS the ERROR LOADING message at system start each time. To fix go to mywebsearch.com and reinstall the toolbar. Then go into control panel %26amp; add/remove programs and look for my web search and uninstall it. Problem Solved !!!

Using start and Run the msconfig is the WORST thing you could do! He just told you what the original problem is and how to fix it correctly if you read what he wrote. The error is caused by partially deleting a program and not all of it. Therefore going into msconfig only puts the PC into a safe start and NOT an normal start up procedure which is why you get the other window you have to choose to ignore also. In order to fix the original problem correctly and NOT cause a completely different one stay out of msconfig since you don't know what your doing and let the system start in normal mode and uninstall the program completely as per his instructions above.
Reply:This error message appears because your system is still trying to load it and is unable to find it. To fix you go to start, run and type msconfig. Click on the startup tab and scroll till you find the reference to the offending file. Uncheck the box and click ok and restart your system.
