    I have had problems with the website coolsearch.biz poping up and taking over the web page that I have been working on. It automatically stops the page I am loading and sets my home page to open it automatically. I am runing adaware6, spybot, and stopzilla. nothing helps stopzilla wont let the page load or internet explorer open untill I reset the home page. what else could I do to stop this from happining?

    Hopefully you have updated Ad-aware & SpyBot to the latest versions and run full scans too. But anyway here is a link on coolsearch.biz you may find helpful:

    Good, glad you got it Eagle :)

    It would be a good idea now to run a good registry cleaner to get rid of any leftover junk in there.
