Default I click on my spyware exe and Windows begins to install Windows Office XP

I had an incredibly bad 8 days of absolutely no
production due to CoolWebSearch malicious adware and
parasites that were installed on my system in about 20
seconds when I visited a Filmography site for Kirsten
Dunst. I spend the next 8 days removing over a thousand
instances of malware that kept auto downloading and auto
installing. I lost $2,500 in business due to
CoolWebSearch malicious activities.

I finally was able to get rid of all artifacts...I
hope...except this last item. CoolWebSearch managed to
replace several of Windows OS files, such as iexplore.exe
and most lingering of all, it changed an unknown
association for at least three (3) of my adware removal
or blocker programs.

Whenever I click on SpywareBlaster.exe, sgmain.exe (for
Spyware Guard) and RegMech.exe (Registry Mechanic)to
start those program....Windows Office XP begins to
install.

To be more blatant as offense to me, there is no normal
way to stop the installation. CoolWebSearch has somehow
configured this time wasting association to not be able
to be stopped normally. Every instance of clicking "No"
or "Cancel" only brings up another attempt at
installation and demands that I insert the Windows Office
XP product CD.

I do happen to already have Windows Office XP installed,
by the way.

I now know I can close that install process by using
Windows Task Manager and using "End Task".

I read in a professional adware discussion and help group
that CoolWebSearch is working to corrupt, permanently
disable or defeat all known major ad removal or preventer
programs.

Please can someone advise me how to prevent the auto
installation of Office XP whenever I click on my adware
removal/preventer programs?

Thank you.

CWatters,

Just a warning. I downloaded CWShredder and much to my
exploding horror, I got a copy that CoolWebSearch
*******s had REPROGRAMMED!!! This is a fraud...the only
thing it did was to remove CoolWebSearch's competitors
adware and it INSTALLED all the hundreds of instances of
itself in my registry once again...also Program Files,
Windows OS, Desktop, Bookmarks, BHO's, search bar etc
etc...and much of it was filthy XXX material or equally
abhorrent Casino crap. I wish to God I could crush there
GD hands such they'd be handicapped for life and never
able to harm any one else as I've been harmed by them.

So...just be sure to know your source when dl
CWShredder. Because what CoolWebSearch does is criminal
behavior in my book and they need to be stopped.

At this point I dont dare use CWShredder out of abject
fear that CoolWebSearch will more deeply infest and
destroy even more of my company's time and resources.
If all things were fair, CoolWebSearch would have to pay
me at least $5,000 for their purposeful destruction of my
valuable time, income and payroll.

I reported CoolWebSearch to the State Attorney General's
office, but the police dont seem to have an computer
savvy whatsoever...nor does the local prosecutor. Our
laws are very archaic regarding ruinous criminal internet
activity.
