Solved Mysearch malware

I was downloading something through Mysearch and I inadvertently allowed to configure my webpage with several pop ups appearing.
I found the information through Google that it is a spyware which hyjacked my Webpage.
To my horror I discovered that it disabled all my Internet Security.
First of all I used Revouninstaller to remove Mysearch deeply but it still left Myseardial in the system. The IE9 warned about unsafe Active X script.
I changed the default search to Google through Internet options. However the warning persisted.
I noticed Myseardial as default on 'manage add ons' on the searches and it did not allow to remove. I cahnged the default to Google and I was then able to remove Mysearchdial.
This changed the IE to normal and the warning of unsafe Active X did not appear any more.
I looked into Google blog about this problem and there are severl advice. I was not able to follow them or they did not help.
However it took me about two hours to get the result successfully with above steps.
I hope this inoformation will be helpful to anybody who accidentally downloads Mysearch engine.
