Need help removing "coolwebsearch / about:blank" m

[tbu3]

My TP is infected with a malware that always sets my default web page to "about:blank". AdAware detects the malware as "coolwebsearch" and removes it on every scan. But it still goes back every time I restart. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it for good? Otherwise I guess I have to reformat my hard drive.

There's a tool called CWShredder created specificaly to remove this thing.

Just google it!

Also consider using Mozzila Firefox. Maybe just for the websites you don't trust completely.
