I have a virus or spyware or somthing that is messing up everything. I run Ad-Aware and usually 16 or 17 things are found that are called CoolWebSearch. I delete it, and about 10 later it comes back. Everytime i sign on AIM it gives me some BS that says AIM has encountered a problem. It does not let me onto any website EXCEPT AO for some reason. It does not let me click any sort of link. It doesnt let me run Windows Media Player, Xbox Connect, or Limewire. I do not have an anti-virus on this Windows. I have one on the other Windows that is on this CP but i do not know how to transer files from one to another.

If someone could please help me out, it would be awesome. Like i said, i cant click links so please dont post links.

Contact me on AIM- ODBskateDestroy

Thanks alot,
Pat

Get a friend to lend you Norton and run a check, it has to be able to do that. Or anything that can find a virus, then delete it, fast.





Downloading to much porn eh? J/king, J/king.

Try spybot, check add/remove programs, search your hard drive for the program. Run an anti-virus. I had one on a friends computer I was trying to get rid of makemoemoney2000 or somthing like that. Ran adaware and spybot, deleted the program, uninstalled it and it is still there.

im pretty sure spybot,ad-aware wont totally remove coolwebsearch.

go to google and type it in. there is a program to run or some step by step instructions on how to remove it.

EDIT - Just downloaded it. 146k. Whats your email, ill send it as an attatchment. Or Get on AIM and ill send it there. OR, if you think im going to put a virus on your comp, try this link
http://www.download.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=CWShredder&tg=dl-2001

You cant download it by clicking on the name. On the right theres a link that says Download Now with a green box and 2 white arrows. click that. I would post that, but its in javascript..
