Indeed. Lately, I have not been able to clean a very annoying piece of
crud named "CoolWebSearch". Spybot will not always detect and never
remove; Ad-aware will likely detect but not remove either. None of the
other crapware removers I have tried could clean the machine either.

You're right...it can be a sob to remove.  CWShredder has worked well for me.
