Hi Pete for what I read after a bit of research , I-Play search engine is a pain to shift like something similair called mywebsearch , luckily a couple of quick scans using malware removal tools should do the trick. Please follow the following Instructions and post the logs on your next reply

 

 

Step 1

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
  
• Double-click on Download_mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
  
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    

  [*]Then click Finish.

  [*]MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue. If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.

  [*]On the Scanner tab:

  • Make sure the "Perform Full Scan" option is selected.
    
  • Then click on the Scan button.
    

  [*]If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.

  [*]The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.

  [*]When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".

  [*]Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

  [*]Back at the main Scanner screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.

  [*]Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

  [*]When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart your computer. (see Note below)

  [*]The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

  [*]Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

 

Step 2

Download and Install Supaantispyware from here SupaAntispyware let it update and run a scan and reboot after completion.

 

Hope this helps

For a start, I-Play offer this FAQ to get rid of the searcch bar:

 

[h=1]Hiding the GamesBar[/h] Published 04/12/2011 03:45 PM | Updated 02/06/2012 01:27 PM

How do I hide the GamesBar™?

To hide the GamesBar™, please follow the steps below for your browser version:

 

For Internet Explorer:

1. Click on the Internet Explorer View menu

2. Select Toolbars

3. Select the GamesBar™ Toolbar

 

For Firefox:

1. Start Firefox

2. Go to "Tools" in the menu bar and select "Add-ons"

3. Select "Oberon GamesBar" from the list

4. Click on "Disable" button

 

 

Secondly, with FireFox you can go to Tools > Options and change the Home Page if that's what you mean by search engine.

 

Thirdly, and probably best, just use Windows' System Restore. There may be a quicker way but Start> Help and Support > and choose System Restore in the list under 'Pick a Task' then 'Restore my system to an earlier time' should do it. That's for XP. I'm sure if it's not the same for Windows 7 someone will be able to help you get to system restore.
