My browser is hijacked by Coolwebsearch and I've tried every single adware removal and spyware removal I could find but nothing seems to be working.Everytime I open my IE homepage,it is redirected to CWS and when I tried to change it back to my original homepage,it changed back to CWS all by itself.I really need some help!

here's my log:

Download CWShredder from here.
Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & run it.
Select the fix button & it will fix everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including Internet Explorer, before running CWShredder. Reboot normally.

To help prevent this from happening again, install the patches for the vulnerabilities that this hijacker exploits by going here for your critical updates.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

CWS is still there.I used CWShedder but it can't detect anything.When I scan through Spy Swepper,it detected cws 213.159.117.134 Hijack.I deleted it but it returns again.

here's my latest log:

That is a CWS domain, so the shredder should have got it :(.


Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows, and tell HijackThis to "Fix checked."

You're welcome :). Marking this as solved. Anyone else with the same problem, please start your own thread. Thank you.

If you really want to get rid of the spyware, save all files you wish to keep onto a CD or other removable media, reformat your drive, and then reinstall Windows.
