[rachel]

hello, the problem I have is that every time I log on to
the internet, this stupid coolsearch.com comes up instead
of the homepage that I selected. I have reset my homepage
but that doesn't work. Any thoughts?

Dealing with Coolwebsearch and affiliates

CWShredder (Kills Coolwebsearch and affiliates) read

More info on Coolwebsearch and the gang

Editors Note: there are now nearly 10,000 Coolwebsearch
affiliates!
They do this as a "Pay-per-Click" scheme, basically
getting a few cents for each user that gets hijacked to
Coolwebsearch or one of it's major affiliates. Nice guys
huh? Most of these affiliates are Adult related, so be
careful where you surf and practice Safe Hex!
