Hi,

    Seeing as you've already found AdAware, you already know
you're on the right track.

www.search200.com seems to be varient on CoolWebSearch
(CWS). While AdAware is an excellent program, CWS has many,
many varients. Therefore a specific utility was designed to
aid the the removal of this program. CWShredder is available
here:

http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

Once you download this program, be sure to update it prior
to running it.

It works much the same way as AdAware, and although the
interface is different, you shouldn't have any problems.
