The virus name comes up in AVG as adwaregeneric.BBO It is in the myway search assistant that I can't delete from my computer. I hope someone can help because I have had a problem with this virus for forever. Even after restoring my computer to factory settings it still hangs around. When I have done scans with AVG it comes up and I move it to the virus vault. Then it comes back as a threat pop up a couple minutes later. Then it will be gone and pop back up again intermittently. An IT guy from my service provider thought he had gotten rid of it but now it's back. I just want it of my computer for good. Thanks in advance!

Here are my logs:

This GMER Two. When I did the initial scan it just gave me a blank screen. When I unchecked the items this is what I got.

Thank you for responding! Unfortunately, I can't uninstall the program. I get this error message when i try:

Error loading C:\PROGRA~1\MyWaySA\SrchAsDe\1.bin\descras.dll
Specified module could not be found.

I just noticed in your log that you have a Dell computer. I am sorry, I should have noticed that before.
MyWay is now as part of the Dell distribution with new computers. It is not spyware, though can still be flagged by various scanners as such. Just tell your AVG to ignore it, especially since you can't remove it.
But, I also notice that you only did the Quick Scan with MBA-M. Our instructions clearly say,
Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan,

Update that program and then do a full scan with it. See if it still shows clean.

I did the malware bytes full scan and it is still clean. I'll just wait to see if it comes back.

As I said MyWay is now as part of the Dell distribution with new computers so I would imagine it is going to stay because it IS installed with the Dell software. Just don't worry about it. It isn't spyware. MBA-M DID NOT flag it as spyware so if AVG does it again tell it to ignore it.
