    Unhappy CoolWebSearch, Iefeats, and BetterInternet (adware)

    Sorry, wrong forum... meant to post in Spyware, virus forum. I'm new, if i can change the forum, can someone tell me how? Thanks.

    I have read many of the postings from this site before joining and posting this and I really thought I could beat it as a former network administrator, but I'm giving in as I burned out several years ago. My frustration in identifying the malignant files and removing them from the registry and the OS is not working. I have already downloaded the CWShredder, Fixiefts (Norton Utility for removing Iefeats), Ad-aware, HiJackThis, Spybot S&D, Swat-it, REGBlock, and Norton Internet Security 2005. I would really rather not spend any more money on getting updates to Ad-aware or anything but NIS2005, but if that's the only way, I understand.

    Please give me advice as my brain is fried. Thanks in advance for any posts.
