Synapse Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Lisa, if you don't got any spyware protection such as ad-aware and/or spybot you should pick those up.1. Ad-Aware2. SpyBotthose should fix your problem, and make sure too do at least a weekly scan and also use the built-in "scan for updates" function too make sure your protected from future spyware/ad-ware.good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel_98a Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 also try a program called: coolwebsearch or cwb. or hijack this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synapse Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 also try a program called: coolwebsearch or cwb. or hijack this.@diesel_98auhm?! Cool Web Search is probably the "Spyware" that put that search bar on Lisa's Computer. Not trying to go hostile on ya, just the way you worded it sounds like telling her too go download it on purpose.and Hijackthis is in my opinion for more advanced users, hell i'm scared too run it lol but if Ad-Aware and Spybot don't remove the Search bar she will need too run hijack this to get rid of it.

Smiley Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 CWShredder will not remove some variants of Coolweb Search. If it keeps coming back use about:blast found here http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showtopic=12609Oh yeah and that yin-yang avatar is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckydip Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hijackthis is the best tool to remove all the variants that cannot be removed by spyremover or cwsshredder. I got this nast cws trojan once n when i use all this tools, it juz close the program for me....My advice is if u want to completely clean your system, u need to boot into safe mode, then run the scan. If u still cannot clean it, use hijackthis tool to help u.But dun delete the wrong entries though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
