Loads of people seem to be having the same problem but I can't find a
solution that works for me.

IE home page keeps resetting to about:blank, I keep getting pop-up for
adverts with the title "Only the Best", when ever I do a google search
I get redirected to www.lookfor.cc or search-to-find.com.

I've ran Norton, spyBot and CWShredder1.exe with out any success.

Ad-Aware SE Personal seems to identify the problem as coolwebsearch
but it crashes when trying to delete everything, I ran it in safe mode
and it deleted everything but all the files came back when I rebooted
the computer.

Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy.

Thanks,

Ross.
