OE (Danish version)- corrupted fonts on outgoing mail ?
Until your 100% certain that all traces of 'My Web Search' (and other
hijackers, possibly) have been totally removed, I don't think a new Named
Identity will help at all. (You should be able to reinstall the fonts from
your Windows CD.)
1. My Web Search = MyWeb ("drive-by" install with Grokster, Morpheus, and
other P2P file sharing programs)

Possibly a CoolWebSearch variant:

2. Dealing with Hijackware

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. HijackThis (http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/
for expert analysis, not here.**
3. Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
