If you have been invaded by CoolWebSearch, you may want to download & run CW Shredder, which you can get at:

Thanks for the info, I have done waht you stated but when I search I still recieve results from commercial websites. I am not sure entirely which parts of the logfile to remove, would it be OK to post the logfile and have some 1 check over it and advise me on which 2 delete?

Any hijack with Web in the title is nasty,
you may want to post your log in a forum
that specialize's in this type of hijack.

Unless najitech or "Danial" can offer to read
your log.

Log reading help sites are within the link below. Pick the one you feel confortable with
and follow the rules for posting.

ASAP

Good luck
