I have been having several problems with the coolwebsearch variant Searchx. I have used HJT, CWS shredder, and Adaware, all the new version, I might add. Each time they willl find the problem and delete it restoring about 6 web pages, but everytime i reboot my computer and open IE, I am once again redirected to about:blank. I have tried redifining my home page, deleting my cookies, history, and temporary internet files in conjunction with CWS shredder, HJT, and Ad-aware, to no avail. I am going to post my HJT log. Maybe someone can help me. This is the HJT log before I use CWS shredder and the other programs to temporarily kill the Searchx trojan.
