What are these Spybot entries?

[Weedo]

All my machines suddenly started showing these entries after running Spybot 1.3:

CoolWWWSearch.Winfiles
CoolWWWSearch.Leftovers
CoolWWWSearch.Mupdate
CoolWWWSearch.Toolband

Spybot won't delete them and all my other attempts to get rid of them haven't worked either. I tried running Spybot in safe mode, no go. I get this message:

Some problems couldn't be fixed; the reason could be that the associated files are still in use (in memory). This could be fixed after a restart. May Spybot run on your next system startup?

It doesn't fix them after a restart either.

Anyone know what this stuff is? Looks like spyware of some sort to me.

It's CoolWebSearch.

Grab CWShredder from our Security Downloads page (see link in my sig) and run it. Should fix it for you.

I'd already run it. It said my system was clean. I reran Spybot and these entries still appeared.

[Dexter]

Does Spybot tell you where they are located?

Dexter...

[Weedo]

Looks like they are located in the registry. There's a path.

So I went into the registry and manually deleted those entries and then reran Spybot and they didn't appear again.

Probably leftovers from the infection that weren't hurting anything, but we're still being reported. Glad you got it sorted.

[Weedo]

Yeah... thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
