Hi,

Some of you will have heard of a browser hijacker called CoolWebSearch. It redirects your home/search pages to various affiliated sites. Some of these will be adult sites. A new version was released that hinders you from getting advice on how to cure the problem, by stopping you from logging on to certain security sites/forums. It also stops you from accessing sites like Lavasoft (Adaware) or Kolla (Spybot S&D).

For more information please read the following...

The list of blocked sites is likely to grow.

Cheers

Liam

Hi Liam

Are you the same E-Liam from Tech Support Forums by any chance? If so, can I thank you for your help in recent months :ok:

I've gleaned loads of useful stuff from your posts over there, which has meant I haven't actually had to ask for help personally, or have had to post my HijackThis log yet (:uhoh: )

Keep it coming please for all our sakes, lol...

Hi Bughunta,

Yep, that's me.. :) :squirms modestly: :)

Thanks for the compliment, and your welcome. It'll keep coming.. :D

The nasty stuff gets written first, so we're always on the back foot, but we try to keep up as best we can.

Cheers

Liam
