Remove MaxWebSearch by Adknowledge

MaxWebSearch is a potentially unwanted web browser extension that is ad-supported and will display various popup and banner ads as well as modify the user's web browser search and home page settings. This plugin will update Internet Explorer (as a BHO), Chrome (as an extension) and Firefox (as an add-in). In some cases, the program will monitor a user's behavior (which the user agreed to if they did not read the full EULA) and will inject rival advertisements over existing one or just inject new ones all together. This toolbar is typically bundled by third party download managers/installers or through questionable online ads.

A vast majority of those who have this installed end up removing it just after a couple weeks. The setup package is about 2.97 MB (3,109,376 bytes) when donwloaded.
