lan_darklord Posted February 28, 2006 CID Share Posted February 28, 2006 Tim I used to have the same problem with the coolwebsearch. Have you looked in your Add or Remove Programs? If I remember right coolwebsearch allows you to uninstall from there and you have to do one other step on it too. After that run ad-aware or spybot or whatever and remove any left over registry values. restart and see if it comes back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted February 28, 2006 CID Share Posted February 28, 2006 Go here and download CWShreadder: http://www.trendmicro.com/cwshredder/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted February 28, 2006 CID Share Posted February 28, 2006 try running the program in safe mode.. you might just be removing the instances of the spyware and not the actual program. The program itself could be in the memory and as soon as you clean it, it starts another instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t1wireless Posted March 5, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 5, 2006 I didn't want to start a new thread so im jsut going to bump this one up with a couple more questions and some info on how im doing with The coolwebsearch thing. Ok first thing i would like to ask is this, i rebooted in safe mode and noticed an adminatrator account on my computer? I don't remember setting up 2 dif accounts although i do know both passwords for both accts (each diffrent) and when i tried to investigate more by going to control panel and clicking on user accounts ....OHHH great i get this error: wrong number of arguments or invaild property assignment. anyone know whats up with that? Ok now back to coolwebsearch ok in safe mode ad-aware finds it and supposedly removes it. This is useing my adminastrator account. i log off and goto my other account and WOW it finds it again i remove it start normal and its there again the shredder program finds NOTHING!! Anyone have any more ideas on whats up? It seems like this could go on forever. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted March 5, 2006 CID Share Posted March 5, 2006 jeffwalker9999, I used the uninstaller 4 application you put on this site and it works great especially on programs when you try to delete or uninstall when you get can't read disk error. Thanks for the download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
