I had coolwebsearch and ZaZZeR coming up on my AdAware all the time. I have deleted it every time and they come right back, so i got the shredder thing to get rid of the coolwebsearch, but it didn’t work. I had no idea from where am I getting this at and why can’t it be deleted. SpyZooka is my last chance. I hope it will work…
Adaware program tells me i have CoolWebSearch. I ran the program to find it linked into a Steganos security suite i was using. That’s now deleted. I ran Adaware a few times and it still came up… I tried some other removal tools, but no help. Until I found Blue Penguin. Now I am sure that I can trust it. I will use SpyZooka for now on.
SpyZooka is simple to use, easy to update and quick. Takes up little space, and is one my favorite spyware removers.
To get rid of CWS, I had to install SpyZooka. And I am happy that I did, because it also removed 2 trojan horses. Thanks!
