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!


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!
