Spyware Problem....again by got_banned on 04-09-2005 at 06:48 AM
Hey everyone,
I'm helping out my friend again with a spyware problem. He says that he can't get rid of the spyware with programs spyware doctor, microsoft anti spyware,registry mechanic and norton profesional 2004. He says that one of the spyware files that he can't remove is CoolWWWSearchWCADW5. Any suggestions? be much appreciated

quote:normally it has, yes... but who bothers looking in the "add/remove programs" section of the config panel these days, when they can download and use another program which useually only removes half of the program.... (and then they complain their pc's is beeped up)... pfftt...

EDIT: maybe I wasn't clear enough what I wanted to say: I've also had to remove Cool Web Search many times on friends and families computer and I have always been succesfull in doing it by simply running it's own uninstaller, just as Absorbation said (sometimes you have to do it in safe mode though)......
