coolwebsearch virus - Stifle_this - 03-07-2005
im getting a bunch of stuff showing up with this name on it when i run adaware, ive tried spy bot s&d but for some reason it doesnt work on my computer. anyways, i just recently got rid of win32.trojandownloader.agent.al, and i think something i did to get rid of it may have let this cool web thing in, i searched for it online and apparant a lot of people have trouble with it and its really annoying and dangerous. Anyone wanna help me out?

k it is hard to get rid of but i suggest getting a good virus protection and just scanning ur files once u find it go to the place where it says it is and go to folder option in my computer and clikc show all files (you have to look around there) but onceu do that it wil be gone for good they like to hide if you need any more help just pm me.

Take out your HD and run scanning software from another system with the HD plugged in.

i got over 500 of them on adawre.. i delete them. reboot there back. they always reset my homepage to about:Blank some bullshit search engine. it gives me well over 500 pop ups at LEAST like 30 groups will be at my task bar.the only way i found to get rid of it is to use GOOGLE and search for HIJACK THIS its the ONLY way i found to get rid of it. :mad: iv gotten it from the following sites. plz add them to black listed sites or somthing
www.mp3dimension.com
and many more thats the only 1 i think i can post w/o being banned....:confused:
ill pm mods the rest of them
if u ever go to these sites the only way i found to not get infested with cool web shit is to turn all ur settings on highest in IE settings.

If worse comes to worse, you could always reformat your computer.
