Greetings,
CWShredder is a small utility for removing the browser hijack CoolWebSearch (aka CoolWwwSearch, YouFindAll, White-Pages.ws) and it's variants.
Spybot S&D tends to forget essential parts of the hijack so, until it updates, you can use this to completely remove the hijack. If you find a system scan by Spybot S&D which indicates CoolWebSearch present, but does not effectively remove it, download and run CWShredder.
Hope this helps,
