probs with spyware/virus? "coolwwwsearch"

Got some probs with some spyware or a virus that keeps hijacking my homepage. Spybot and Adaware both find different results, but no matter what I do it always returns.

Any ideas on how to get this crap off my PC!!!

boot in safe mode and run ad-aware. Get ewido from our website also run in safe mode... F8 before windows starts then option safe mode. All should be removed!

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

cheers folks!

MikeR just popped round with the latest version of CWS Shredder, and with a bit of fiddling it's sorted it.

So glad, nice new fast PC and it got zapped that soon, was getting a bit peed off as I have all the sodtware in place that I thought would stop that sort of thing!
