    Run ad-aware 6.1 http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

    or you can use CoolWebShredder




    A small utility for removing CoolWebSearch (aka CoolWwwSearch, YouFindAll, White-Pages.ws and a dozen other names). Spybot S&D tends to forget essential parts of the hijack, so until it updates, you can just this to completely remove the hijack. Updated to remove the new variants once they come out.
    Currently at version 1.12

    Your box has been hijacked, bro...

        Chem - his sounds more like a virus than an annoying popup. I got hit with a very similar one from www.incredifind.com. Found it listed on some tech site as a virus and downloaded the info on how to remove it.

            i found this onlin its exactly what i have wrong with my comp

            I've spent the last day or so cleaning various virus type applications off of my Presario 2100 but can't seem to get everything cleaned out. I then downloaded and ran Spybot S&D several times. I have cleaned up everything it came up with and SpyBot now comes up clean. Unfortunately, IE(v6.0), the home page, and the favorites keep getting repopulated with porn. I have also deleted the offending sites from the host file but it also continues to be overwritten

            That is because you are infected with a virus(es). Just a quick glance showed me that.

            Then go and get TDS-3 and the latest Radius File and follow directions on how to update it.

            You also might want to pay a visit to HouseCall's and do an on line virus scan. You have a lot of issues though.

                Have you tried Ad-aware yet? I really think that's your best solution.
