hey im working on a friends compt, and i got theis stupid tool/search bar called "Open search web" and i can't delet it, can anyone help me?
i went under add and remove and it isn't there and i tryed looking for a program on the net that would allow me to delete it, and all i found was a program called "XoftSpy" but i needed to register for that, i then searched on my compt, and i couldn't find it.

is there someway i delete it, or dl a program to delete it?

his compt is a wndows xp home sp2
 
also try running CWshredder.
if theres one thing, which is agreed upon here, its a spyware, or adware, so use a good anti spyware tool.
in the free ones, u can use adaware and spy bot, they work real well together.
 
First as always, follow the instructions in the sticky , then if any problems still exists, post a HJT log and we'll help you kill it from there.
