Hi, Don't mean to take up too much of anyone's time. When I log into Hotmail the screen keeps switching to 'http://t.swapx.cc/h.php?aid=20009'

I can't seem to find anything. Reading your posts for the last few days so i loaded HijackThis and here are my logs. Any help appreciated.

Download CWShredder from here & run it. Select the fix button & it will fix everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including Internet Explorer, before running CWShredder. Reboot.

To help prevent this from happening again, install the patches for the vulnerabilities that this hijacker exploits by going here for your critical updates.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.
