Does anybody understood something from this post?

I admit that I'm a bit drunk right now, but don't think that's the main problem...

Hmm I think you need to brush up on your spelling and punctuation before posting.

I think he is trying to tell us not to use CW Coolwebsearch...Whatever that is, lol.

**SFR** · 12-25-2004, 07:27 PM

hmm... I thought Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D finally added CoolWwwSearch to their databases....

Anyway, Lorand.. just like drinking and driving, drinking and operating a computer can cause problems..... It was not a Pulitzer Prize winning post, but it made enough sense. CoolWebSearch is a hijack and this good samaritan was telling us about a little utility that gets rid of the hijack 100%

....hope that made more sense...if not: put down the eggnog!

No, S&D and Ad-Aware do not totally remove CWS. There was a program out that really did work but they guy stopped updating it. The new SpySweeper also totally removes CWS but it is only a 30 day free trial and I think 30$ to buy after that. (Well worth it) It seems to be the only program I've found that removes EVERYTHING insted of just "saying" it did.

**Lax** · 12-25-2004, 11:42 PM

That's the one I was talking about. The man who started that stopped updating to my knowledge so it only gets the older version of CWS not the newer ones.

Yes but a good firewall will deal it even if its on your computer

You can never prove that everything is removed... only that the things you know about are gone.
