Re: Browser high jacked by Cool Web Search

all I had to do was remove it and run ad-aware.  I suspect that most people 
do not use the thorough scan in ad-aware.

However, running all these spy where removal tools will not help unless the
web tool bar is gone. I have just overcome this issue and had to go into ad
remove programs in the control pannel adn eliminate it from there then run
add a where, spy bot and hijack this.

Thanks, Mark.  I downloaded SpySweeper' from somewhere, and will try it on
the offended computer.  It's not very JFW friendly, but according to
something I found on Google (probably SpySweeper.com) it's a wonderful
program and will do the job.  The web site gave me lengthy instructions,
including that most frightful of computer words, 'registry', as it
explained how to get rid of Cool Web Search.  Once I was thoroughly
intimidated, shaking in my boots, it offered the alternative of using
SpySweeper.

The first run on my own computer discovered and got rid of 25 cookies.  Of
course, I could probably have deleted them in Internet Explorer.  Oh,
well.  It's worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ann
