RE: coolwebsearch
Then download HijackThis (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Popup-Ad-Sp...s/HijackThis.shtml).

It let's you check all the startup programs and regkeys. There you will be able to remove the startup of CWS. If you don't how it works, just do a scan, save the log and post it here.

Have you looked into your Add/Remove Programs ? Maybe it's there !
So, Fraisie.net is empty atm. I\'m trying to come up with something cool to put on it, and I will!

CoolWebSearch is not just adware you can remove :). It's hard to get rid of...
