Hi, my PC is infected with spyware that I can't get rid of with the usual programs.
Here's the logfile from hijackthis:

Anyone see what I should be removing, and know how? Thanks for any help.

I tried to follow the initial steps required, but Ad-Aware hangs during the scan, and Spybot comes up with a million errors. CWshredder says there's nothing wrong, but Ad-Aware keeps finding CoolWebSearch variants that it can't permanently get rid of. (This was before I changed the scan options as per this site, now it won't complete a scan.)

Any ideas? :tazz:
