    Default Anyone Know How To Remove CoolWWWSearch

    Every time I run S&D it tells me that I have 4 entries of CoolWWWSearch in the browser.
    I clear it with the fix each time, but it is there every time I run a scan again.
    Would appreciate help in getting rid of this.

    Hello,

    Which Spybot-S&D version do you use?
    Which operating system do you have?

    Best regards

    Hello,

    Please run a scan in safe mode.
    That should fix it.

    Ran the scan in Safe Mode.
    Found the same four items again.
    They appear to be in the bookmarks area.
    Anyhow, clicked "Fix", and a tick was placed
    beside the 4 items indicating that they had been
    removed.
    I am running another scan in safe mode just to ensure that all is well.
    Will keep you posted.
