I was highjacked by coolsearch.biz and lived to tell about it - GoFuckYourself.com

Man that was stressful. One second I was looking at a damn tgp submit page, which I forget which site it was, then I closed it, and all hell broke lose.
Then my comp was unusable, whatever I typed, anywhere, I got re-directed and pop up hell. I actually had to get someone ICQ me the first of three programs to get rid of it! I couldnt do anything

I first ran Spybots S&E, it found some of it, then I was actually able to download CWS Shredder, that again found more of it, but my homepage was still jacked and I still got re-directs.
The finishing move was installing Ad-aware. That ran nice. I did a reboot and my homepage is normal again! I just did a search in google for "sex" and I got no popups or redirects!
I was very stressed because about a year ago I got jacked and ran some spyware removal and it screwed my comp so bad removing it I could not even restart it.
I am ok now I think. Thanks Spyware, Lavasoft and Soeperman.
And a huge gigantic

to coolsearch.

I was fully jacked, I would rather have been carjacked in Compton, less stressful.

Another thing that is fucked about spyware is that it may screw up your com port and truly jack your shit.

Scumbags who do Active X and exploits should be hung by the nutz.
