Hi there. :)

Please read up on these processes:

motmon.exe (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/motmon.exe-3233.html)

taskmon.exe (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/taskmon.exe-5667.html)

What makes you believe you have specifically a 'CWS' infection?


Open SpyBot.
Check for problems.
When finished, right click and choose "copy results" (not the full report) to clipboard and post that into topic.

what makes me think i have an cws infection is because when i did a scan i saw cool web search or coolwwwsearch in the status bar

Unless it is listed as a problem when the scan completes it is not a problem.

During the running of a Spybot scan ("Check for problems") the status bar in the lower left hand corner of the screen shows the following:
"Running bot-check(xxxxx/yyyyy:zzzzzz)" where:
xxxxx = Current check count.
yyyyy = Total check count.
zzzzz = Malware check being performed.
The zzzzz value it is the malware check being performed by Spybot not what is in you system.

or is that just what it is scanning for
