  1. Even as an experienced and retired IT specialist, I missed the junkware bundle, myweb. I immediately removed it from my browser. However, appintegrator remained (found it in startup). While I do not recommend registry scrubbing for the average user, I had to delete appintegrator via registry edit. In all truth I didn't investigate any other potential means.
