I hate to ask here but I am having no luck anywhere else (IE tech question)
 

I had a some piece of shit malware install on my computer yesterday that redirected me to best-search a coolweb type site everytime I clicked.

I downloaded HijackThis and proceded to delete everything in the registry that had best-search in it.(Stupid I know but but I was frustrated

Now the only page I can go to in IE is the one that is set as the home page. To browse I have to copy and paste or hand type urls into the home page under tools and apply and hit the home button.

Any way to fix this? I know that's an open ended question but there are some pretty smart people here.

:)

search for CWShredder on google this will get rid of it

hmm should've read the whole thing...CWShredder is what you should'Ve used in the first place to get rid of the CoolWeb shit....after that, not sure I undersdand your problem...you should still try to run CWShredder to make sure everything is removed

If u have XP you should be able to restore your system to a time before u fucked with the registry

Then use AdAware to get rid of it

get a real web browser. Try firefox, you broke IE.

AdAware didn't get rid of CoolWebSearch trojan ...at least for me...only thing that worked was CWShredder....

Ran shredder first then hijack this because I was still getting redircted to the page.

Everything is fine except I have somehow delted something and no matter what I click get sent to whatever the home page is set to.

And restore is off...
