CWS blocked all of my secure sites. A Microsoft tech at the 800 number told me what it was and how to get rid of it. It took about a half an hour with him, and then another two hours to do a complete scan with spybot, norton, and clean disc security before it was clean. We also notified the bank and visa. All in all, a real pain in the a**..

Welcome to the CoolWebSearch Chronicles

I have not yet come across ANY data provided in re WHO launched/devised CWS. The CWS primarily directs "browners" to porn, and child porn.

That IP address is located in Russia, a known hotbed for the CoolWebSearch gang. The whois information says there are no websites located at that IP address, making it even more suspicious
