Indeed. Lately, I have not been able to clean a very annoying piece of
crud named "CoolWebSearch". Look I am not attempting to be flippant but do yourself a favour and download HiJackThis and check out the registry entries that show up. It is quite obvious how to remove it the moment you do that. As I said in my last letter, it is all of 10 minutes' work if that. I cant even remember what the damned registry entries were, now but it all comes in via SmilyeyCentral (possibly other progs) so anyone annoyed by CoolWebSearch has to block installation of that program.
