Hey,
I've recently been infected with the coolwebsearch trojan, say two days ago...I downloaded a version of CWShredder did a search, and it always said "there is a version of coolwebsearch still downloading, please restart your browser and run cwshredder again to correct the problem." I did this to no avail, and continued runnings CWShredder with the same problems encountered. I left for the weekend, and came back and my computer was flooded with pop-ups, I tried running CWShredder again, but...it said that the coolwebsearchtrojan developed something to prevent CWShredder from working, and said it would open in another name to run, it opened in a different name but still was not able to complete (noting the same thing about a coolwebsearch bug getting on the machine that prevented it from working. Please please please help me get rid of this problem...
frustrated computer user...
