    Your log is clean. I see that you already have Ewido installed. Please make sure it is updated and run the scan, then post the log here.

    Please read my article here about what is probably causing these entries to appear: http://www.spywareshooter.com/spybot.html

    Ok, but I have never use spywareshooter. So are you saying that there is another antispyware program, that I have used, that using the same trick as spywareshooter?

    Have you installed SpywareBlaster or IESpyAd? They are based on the same concept as SpywareShooter.

    No, I haven't used any the programs that you listed. Before Spybot noted the coolwwwsearch and AdCom problem. I had only used Spybot, Microsoft's antispyware program, and a antispyware program that comes with Defender Pro 10 in 1, which uses Omniquad's software.

    Would you mind taking a screenshot of Spybot detecting these entries (with the sublevels fully expanded - click the little + signs next to the entries) and attaching it to your post?

    Also Adaware is finding some malware. I attach the files for both Spyboy and Adaware.

    In both cases, the registries come back after rebooting.
