Rencently i have identifyed some spywear on my computer called coolwebsearch and it has idenifyed it as a css hijack.

This spywear changes my default home page when i first open internet explorer 6. No matter how many times i remove this spywear with my checker (AD Aware 6) the next time i boot up my computer the same thing happens and it detects the spywear again. The file it is in is WINDOWS then web and i am having great difficult to locate it.

Can anybody help me, this is a very annoying problem and if any one has any ideas i will be VERY grateful.

Cheers

Dan Clarkson
