Zwinky is fairly easy to remove. Simply go to Add or Remove Programs and delete "My Web Search" and anything similair or related to Zwinky. To get rid of all the effects of Zwinky and its partner program My Web Search, run your spyware removal software and run HiJackThis, and delete harmful entries. If you don't know what entries are harmful, save the log and enter it on the link relating to this page called "HiJackThis Logreader" Delete all entries classified as dangerous or unneeded via HiJackThis. Zwinky and My Web Space have a habit of sending information regarding your PC to advertisers, without you seriously acknowledging it. (It is however listed in their TOS that they have the right to do this.) go 2 ur profile page and clik edit profile. then, go 2 delete identity (under your avatar on the edit profile page).
ok at the top of your screen there should be a picture of an avatar zwinky dude that says zwinky next to it and next to that there will be an arrow. click on the arrow and at the bottom it will say Remove This Button... click on that and it should work for you from there. but i wouldn't even uninstall it...its so fun and addicting!!! put it in your faq's start> control panel> add/remove . look for my web search (zwinky) or mindspark (zwinky) click then click remove I would remove it, it is connected to my web search which is abundant with adware, spyware, tracking cookies, and viruses. everytime i download it, i get about 400 of them, and there are way better and more fun things out there than zwinky, like imvu now that's fun and addicting. zwinky is so 2002 and is totally outdated and limited. I would suggest scanning your computer with superantispyware, it is free to download scan and remove. to remove the toolbar just click on the icon at the top of your screen, next to it should be an arrow to remove it Read useful steps to uninstall zwinky here: http://blog.teesupport.com/how-to-remove-zwinky-zwinky-uninstall-instructions/

A web search is a search on the internet. You type in whatever it is that you are liking for and the internet searches for it. This search is called a web search.
If your computer is attacked by a virus, try running your anti-virus program so that it can be removed. If you don't already have a program installed, you can do a web search to find one. Malwarebytes and Spybot are two popular programs. However, there are viruses that prevent computer users from using or installing anti-virus programs. If that happens, you may need to do a fresh install of your operating system. This may erase important files.
