Sorry but I'm about as useless on Windows viruses as it gets since I don't use Windows.

Didn't this just happen to you less then a month ago?

The best way to remove this shit is a full restore. As in re-install the OS from the disks. Wipes hard-drive clean. just make sure you've backed up your important files.

Gallery and FreeSite reviewers should consider using a second cheaper machine dedicated to reviewing sites or surfing potentialy unsafe sites. That way when you do catch something you just wipe the hard drive clean and not worry about loosing data.

CoolWebSearch sucks, I've had it a few times. All the programs that claim to get rid of it don't do a good job. It gets so deep into your system, and its always changing to stay ahead of the anit-spyware. Got to clean the hard-drive completely or it will come back.

P.S. This is my 100th post here at Greeny. Happy anniversary to me!

Might I suggest an alternative to a whole other box? http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx
or
http://www.vmware.com/products/desktop/ws_features.html

Burn an ISO of your Windows CD to your box and you can (re)load a virtual machine in no time.

Better than buying a whole freakin other box and faster to reload.

Stever, I have found that declining all sites with scripts, iframes, and other outside sources has certainly decreased the amount of junk I am forced to deal with (and that my surfers have to deal with too). As I determine new methods for adding stuff on pages, I add that to the bot filter so that my surfers are not subject to this crap.

If more TGPs and such spent a few minutes actually pre-checking stuff, there would be much less crap out there in the world.

Oh yeah, firefox instead of IE is a HUGE help... not a total fix, but moves me from 99% to 1% pretty much directly!
