coolwebsearch
ok i have spy sweeper and EZ Armor (firewall) and lately i have been getting more EZ Armor Alerts telling me that my computer blocked something. i used to get them often but now its like every 20 seconds ! so i ran a spy sweeper search and it found the adware coolwebsearch and removes it but it seems it keeps coming back. how can i get rid of it for good.
p.s i also ran Ad-Aware SE Personal and that doesnt even seem to find that adware

That spyware is a difficult one. I've had a problem with it myself. What worked for me is running a utility that specifically targets that exact spyware. The link is where you can download it for free.

I would also suggest adding Spybot to your security. It's completely free and user-friendly. I've found that it finds things that Ad-Aware sometimes misses. Update it as soon as you get it installed and run a full system scan. I'm giving you the download link below.

If you don't do so already, it's a good idea to check for updates on your spyware programs on a weekly basis. Also make to update your Antivirus and run Windows Update on a regular basis.
