Fighting with CoolWWWsearch.Leftovers
Blah Spywares... freakin' stupid piece of software made to:
1. make some people earn cash
2. get you mad
This morning, I spent some hours finding the right way to get rid of that CoolWWWsearch.Leftovers thing. It appears that the best method I found against it was by using HijackThis and scanning my computer. Then I analysed the logfile generated on a webpage and removed annoying entries using Hijackthis again.
The method seems to be quite efficient, and I thought I should share it here. Of course, this does not restrict to CoolWWWsearch.
Get Hijackthis 1.99.1 (latest version)
Analyse your logs here and remove bad entries with HijackThis
Get Spyware Doctor also, seems to be quite a good ad-aware or Spybot like.

I feel very sorry for you Windows guys !
Take the red pill and switch to Linux ;o)
Well, I can not imagine switching to Linux at my work, should know how to exploit it before using it :)
Note that I don't pretend to know how to use Windows :p
I have made several tries at home, but I have faced a lack of motivation each time I installed a fresh Linux install. Last version I used was a Fedora on my laptop I think (just have a laptop now), and I 'played' with it during some weeks but not more.
