    First step - get a current copy of CWShredder and follow the direction for running it. Does nothing unless it finds a Coolwebsearch critter and then it will remove that.

    Next step - another hijackthis log but this time, please run it without other programs open on the PC.

    I'm tempted to say to use Hijackthis to remove all the lines with c:\searchpage.html but I honestly don't know enough to feel safe suggesting that right now.
