Ok, well i have like many other's had my browser hijacked by "Coolsearch", the main problem is, when i click on certain link's.. it will send to a porn site, or something of this nature. Then shortly after my comp will load and then the internet looses connection.

I have also noticed, when i log onto my window's. i get a small console that appears and ses something like "connecting to the internet, connection failed". I also noticed the console was from system32/twink64.exe...

Thankyou for any help!

Hi Nect,

Try CWShredder, but read the info about LSPFix first. Also install, update & run SpyBot, Adaware and SpywareBlaster(=blocker)

Spybot Search & Destroy (Safer Networking)
Ad-aware (Lavasoft)
[blocker] SpywareBlaster (Javacoolsoftware)
[on-line] TrojanScan (GFi)
TDS-3 (DiamondCS)
Pest Patrol
CWShredder (Merijn.org)
Keep in mind that some of them may need to be updated over the web first when started, and before zapping the baddies!
