Yesterday, I installed adaware and spybot on my computer,
but the pages on IE6 still will not display. Also, I can
not change my home page; it's grayed out.

Adware and Spyware got rid of everything except for Cool
Web Search (CWS), which keeps coming back onto my
computer, everytime I exit out of IE, and go back in, it
has reinstalled itself. How do I get rid of it
permanently?

The only web page that shows up is the stupid CWS page,
with every other website I put in I will get a "Page
cannot be displayed error" or CWS will change the address
I put in the computer:
http://www.msn.com <---> http:///%20www.msn.com

How do I stop this from happening. I cannot even use my
home computer to get info on how to stop this hijacking.
I have to use a computer outside my home to get
information on how to get rid of it.

Will somebody please, Please, PLEASE help me?!!!?!!!?!!!

go to www.spywareinfo.com~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip
Download the file and run it....it's the only thing that
worked for me as well - make a donation to these guys at
the homepage - I spent $100 bucks buying stuff to get rid
of it and they fixed it for free!
