How do unistal My Search?

OK so I downloaded a free photo sketch ap that was supposed to be good and not have a bunch of junk with it but somehow along with the ap I got something called My Search which is a search engine that kind of took over my computer. I uninstalled all of the photo stuff and clicked uninstall on the My search stuff that was in my file. The names disappeared but the program is still on my computer even though when I go into control panel and go into the part where programs are listed it's not listed there. I'm at a loss on how to get rid of it. If anyone has a clue I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks

    I use firefox and chrome and it's on both of them. Nilan Like I said above when I go to my unistall box the mysearch is not in the list. I don't have the tool bar but when I open a new window to go to a different site I get the mysearch page and it's always running and slowing everything else down.
