Hi
I'm having problems with CoolWWWSearch. Its taken over my laptop. Spybot says that it has fixed the problem but I run spybot again and it finds the same thing again! Eveytime I try to go on the internet it takes me to a strange search engine. If I overtype the website address ("about:blank") it will go to the website I've typed but then goes straight back to the search engine again.
I'm not sure how I can download suggested fixes as I cant get on the internet on my laptop (I'm using a work pc at the mo).
I've tried everything I can think of and even had it looked at by a computer shop manager to no avail.
Please help me, its driving me crazy!

To fix this download CoolWebSearch from the following link: http://www.download.com/CWShredder/3000-8022_4-10349879.html?tag=lst-0-1

Download CoolWebSearch removal tool from here:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/spyware/delcwssk.zip
Extract it to c:\smartkiller. Then navigate to that directory and double-click on the file named miniremoval_coolwebsearch_smartkiller.exe to run the program. If it finds this particular CoolWebSearch variant it will remove it from your system.Good Luck!

I'm sorry about my misprint:
it is not CoolWebSearch removal tool. It is CoolWWWSearch Removal tool))
Sincerely yours,

Ok so Spybot found CoolWWWsearch on my system but could not remove it. I used the CoolWebSearch removal tool, but it did not find CoolWWWsearch. What shall I do now? Any suggestions? Oh, btw, I could not get my Symantec spyware to update (due to this crap) and I could not get to the Symantec site, but I was able to get to the Symantec.com.au site where I was able to download the new virus deffinition files. Not as good of an option, but it'll have to do until I can get rid of this nasty bug. Please help me out if you can. Thanks!
