Cool web search

[Canolivia]

Does the Beta clean the CWS Hijack?

 

[Bill Sanderson]

In some cases, at least.

Do a full, deep scan in safe mode.

If this fails, other useful tools are CWShredder, and about:buster version 4

If deep scan is still not removing, here is some additional removal help:

From Chuck:
CoolWebSearch is a constantly mutating major nuisance. The best tool to
diagnose it is HijackThis, and expert advice. HijackThis shows all possible
traces of software, anything that MIGHT be malware, and lets an expert
identify the bad stuff manually.

HijackThis http://www.tomcoyote.com/hjt/

Create a separate folder for HijackThis, such as C:\HijackThis - copy the
downloaded file there.

Then, run HijackThis ("Scan"). Do NOT make any changes immediately. Save
the HJT Log.

Finally, have your HJT log interpreted by experts at one or more of the
following security forums (and please post a link to your forum posts,
