Norton, Eraser, Spybot, Spyhunter all leave coolwwwsearch well alone. Norton will give me a fix if I pay them for it - pay my rent 2X?? Pay to get rid of rubbish and the refuse man leaves it behind!

if above does not help turn off system restore then scan with all you've got this should do it

Download CW Shredder from Intermute and Ad-Aware from Lavasoft. Make sure that Shredder, Ad-Aware, Spybot S&D, and any other tools you use are all updated.
Then, when you run the tools, run CW Shredder **first**, then whatever other ones you have. I like Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D; your mileage may vary.
The reason for running CW Shredder first is because there is a tendency for CoolWWWSearch infections to interfere with other anti-spyware tools. Let Shredder do its thing, reboot the computer, and re-run Shredder. Once Shredder comes up clean after a reboot, then use your other tools.
Hope that helps.

Spybot is supposed 2 be able 2 fix it, so is AdAware SE. Anyway shutdown your pc and restart it in windows safe mode (press F8 repeatedly during startup). Scan with all u've got in safe mode. u'll mostly fix it.
If nuthin works try system restore

CWShredder from www.intermute.com will do it, and it's free. Run it in Safe Mode if it can't clean it in normal mode.
