I have the cool web search virus. I am using the Ad-Aware
profesionall version. I am trying to download the last
SP1 security update (MS02-071) and the only time the CWS
browser highjack comes back is when I try to download
this link. I believe this could be the answer to my
problem, but how else can I get this update?

Check your "hosts"file.
Unhide files and folders via folder options>view
Right click on start left on explore,scroll down to windows and open the +
scroll to system32 open +
find the "drivers" folder and open,open the ETC folder, there you will find
the hosts file open with notepad if anything is there besides
127.0.0.1 localhost
delete it and reboot, try downloading SP1 again.

If this doesn't help please post back
Good luck
