My recent experiences in the last few weeks have led me to believe that there is a very large increase in the amount of variants of CoolWebSearch, a browser hijacker. I've seen this appear on PC's loads of time, and it was just a case of running Spy Bot and/or Ad-Aware to remove it. However, I think that's changing fast, and this week alone (it's only Tuesday!) I've had to use CWShredder to get rid of some pretty dreadful homepage hijackers on 3 different pc's, after the 2 previous mentioned anti-spyware tools failed to get rid of it.
