    Well the topic pretty much explains itself. I have cool web search and have tried CWS to no avail, I even tried the new trend micro 3.0 bundled with CWS and still to no avail. I looked on the internet and they said that there was in fact a form of CoolWebSearch that couldn't be deleted with Shredder, though the screenshot of what it looks like didn't look like at all what mine looks like. So basically ya I pretty much know CoolWebSearch is the problem, is it possible that I get some help?
