In the past two weeks, I’ve run across a new form of parasite that’s worming its way onto computers. One particularly obnoxious pest is called CoolWebSearch. I hadn’t even heard of it until I did a little research at one of my favorite anti-spyware sites, SpywareInfo.
A wonderful page called The CoolWebSearch Chronicles describes the many variants of this problem and includes a tool that should get rid of it, if you’ve had the misfortune of being zapped.
