Let's start with a couple of free programs:
CWShredder is the first to run. Here's why: If a CoolWebSearch variant is indeed running on your system, it may actually prevent you from running spyware scans. It is smart enough to detect efforts to detect it, and stop them. Download CWShredder to your desktop or other location. Close all browser windows, double click the CWShredder icon to run, then click the
Fix -> button. When finished, reboot and run Spybot Search & Destroy.
Spybot Search & Destroy Download and install. Start Spybot S&D using the "Spybot-S&D (easy mode)" link from your Start menu . Click the
Search for updates button, if any are found then click the
Download Updates button. After all updates are downloaded, click the
Check for problems button. When the scan is complete, place a check next to anything marked in
red, then click the
Fix selected problems button. You may need to run Spybot S&D multiple times to remove all infections.
