Hi, please help! Every time I go on the internet i get a "cool-search" homepage instead of "Google", even when I change my homepage back to google when i reboot and go on the internet again the same "cool-search" web page comes back. I've tried using Ad-aware (which recognises the cool-search registry and removes it and it still comes back) and also Spybot hasn't solved the problem. Therefore, I've used "HyjackThis" as suggested and here is the saved log below, could you tell me which files to delete please:

Thanks very very much for your help!

Cool Web Search removal tool here:
Unzip the file, d.click cwshredder.exe, click check for update..if there is a newer version you can replace the one you have.
Have all IE windows closed (also better if done offline)
Click next (not just scan)
Allow tool to run
Click next again to see what was done.
There is also a link on the bottom of the tool window to help prevent reinfection...worth the read.Repost fresh log when done
Good luck

same problem, except being redirected to coolwebsearch.net.... also child porn site added to favorites.
I have run Hijack this and CW shredder... It still comes back upon rebooting....
What shall I do?
Here's the log (after it was cleaned by CW Shredder and Hijack this
