Browser hijack help (CoolWebSearch)
Hey everyone,
This is my first post. I'm hoping this great site might shed some light on this.
I'm running windows xp with all the updates and patches, along with a linksys router and default xp firewall only. I managed to get the CoolWebsearch Malware on my box and can't seem to shake it.
After reading previous suggestions from this site, I booted in safe mode, ran spybot and adaware and both programs deleted the corresponding CoolWebSearch entries.
All seemed fine and I left my computer on. A few hours later upon return when I clicked IE6 CoolWebSearch was back. I did the scan again and entries were again found.
An hour later the same thing. So I booted in safe mode, ran hijackthis, and deleted all the browser hijacks.
Any ideas? Am I missing a step here? How does it keep coming back?
Thanks for your help all.
