Hi
CWS= CoolWebSearch trojan.
You need to get that off your system.
To begin with, pick
2 of these online scans and run them and see what they find. Let me know the results.
eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner Panda ActiveScan Trend Micro.
After that could you please go
here and download
AdAwareSE and delete what it finds. Then go here
here and download its
VX2 cleaner. Run it and delete what it finds.
After that go
here and download
SpyBot and run it. When Spybot is complete, it will be showing
RED entries,
BLACK entries, and
GREEN entries in the window.
Put a check mark beside the
RED entries ONLY.
Choose
Fix Selected Problems
and allow Spybot to fix the
RED only entries.
Now go to
here and download
HiJackThis to its own folder that you create on your C:\ drive.
After it is downloaded open the program and click Scan and Save to log.
