I read a post earlier, can't remember which newsgroup, that said if you run
Ad-aware in safe mode it will remove the newer variant. Don't have the
problem so don't know for sure if it works but worth a try.

This is a very devious version.

stuck. I finally got rid of it with CW Shredder and supposedly all the
spyware was gone. While I had the spyware, I noticed my programs and games
lagged significantly, and for some reason even after I got rid of the
spyware programs still lagged. Someone told me to try Highjackthis but when
I tried, CoolWebSearch came back! What can I do to get rid of the lag the
Spyware created???
