This is very annoying. Can I infect anyone if I email, etc.?

Hey, the 'mywebsearch' is spyware, not a virus, not infectious, just really damn annoying. Some programs are good at removing it, but most dont remove it completely. Breaking into the registry and manually removing is the best way, but thats a difficult an and risky process. It basically just hijacks your browser and redirects you to a plethora of sites that you probably dont care too much for....
Odds are you probably wont affect anyone via email, as its mainly a browser thing that it attaches to.
CCleaner should take care of it.....
