coolwebsearch threat

G

Guest

buddy of mine obviously caught a version of coolwebsearch
that's not recognized by the tool. Looks like the blank
start page 'about:blank' is kind of replaced with the
coolwebsearch mess

periodic pop-ups and no way to change start page in IE,
always ending up on some strange search page for all the
stuff you may not really need

tried other means/tools/utils but looks like this version
is really sticky

any chance to get this covered ?

Best advice: submit a Tools, suspected spyware report from the infected
machine.

Also--look up about:buster/

Also try the browser restore function in advanced tools and let me know how
if that is working.
