Cool Web Search DISASTER

When you run CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller (v1&v2) MiniRemoval, if you are clean it gives a somewhat confusing message:

CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller (v1&v2) has not been found on your system.

So people thought this meant that the removal tool was not being found. It just means you have no infection.

Sounds to me like you are not running the removal tool or what you downloaded is not the correct program.

Where did you download your tools from? Get them from MG's!
