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.

Might I suggest an alternative to a whole other box?

or

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.
