RE: coolwebsearch
With Hijack This you can see all the startup register keys and IE registry keys and you can delete / reset them to defaults. It's much easier then screwing with the register yourself :wink:

I searched for instances of it deleted the files. Then went into the reg for an hour and deleted anything suspicious.

DON'T TRY THIS I only did it as I was a n00b.

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.

Chris100... the entries are of course not called coolwebsearch.exe etc. but they look like windows processes. Just post the log here and I'll tell ya which entries to select and fix.

RE: coolwebsearch
Maybe this will help: mysearch uninstall

You may also wanna run TweakNow RegCleaner.
