CoolWWWSearch Problem!

edited November 2004 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hi! I ran SpyBot because new there were several new updates (after months) and its found 6 new CoolWWWSearch.xxxxx (were 'xxxxxx' equals a name) but SpyBot cannot fix them because they're in use in the memory. I scanned with CWShredder but that doesn't find anything and says 'not present'.

Spybot found some CoolWebSearch problems that are not even listed in the lastest version of CWShredder so that could mean that I have new CoolWebSearch entries OR there may be a flaw in spybot.

What do you think???

I've looked at HJT in my account and theres nothing which is spyware but would other accounts on my comp be different?

Thanks

    Have you tried CWShredder 2.0?

    Thanks Kwitko for your reply. I've already got CWS v2.0 but that doesn't detect any of it. Spybot may have found new entries of CWS but I dunno.

    Do you think it is a problem if Spybot dectects CWS entries but CWShredder doesn't?

    Thanks

    Could be a false positive. Post your HJT log.

    I think your right and maybe they are false positives.
    Post your HJT log.
    My log looks fine to me. Would HJT Logs be different on other user accounts?
