I am having trouble with my ie6. no matter what website
that i attempt to access, it will generate addresses for
two different search sites and does this in a continuous
loop never stopping until it reaches a point saying that
the page cannot be displayed. It is very annoying. I
would like to remove and replace Ie 6 in hopes of fixing
this problem, but my xp disk was destroyed. If you know of
a solution, Please advise. (e-mail address removed)

A small utility for removing CoolWebSearch (aka
CoolWwwSearch, YouFindAll, White-Pages.ws and a dozen other
names). Spybot S&D tends to forget essential parts of the
hijack, so until it updates, you can just this to
completely remove the hijack. Updated to remove the new
variants once they come out.
Currently at version 1.12
Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of
different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively
new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do
not yet cover. If you see new toolbars in your Internet
Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your
browser crashes, or if your browser start page has changed
without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But
even if you don't see anything, you may be infected,
because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently
tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing
profile of you that will be sold to advertisement
companies. Spybot-S&D is free,
Search your hard disk for so-called spybots or adbots, the
modules that are responsible for showing ads and
transmitting information back to vendors. If Spybot Search
and Destroy finds such modules, it will remove them or
replace them with empty dummies. In most cases, the host
software still runs after removing the bot.Finally, Spybot
removes your usage tracks (last visited Web sites, opened
files, started programs, and cookies)
