Removing CoolWebSearch
How the hell do you do it!!! 
Ive used Ad-aware SE, m/soft anti-spyware, spybot s&d, CWShredder and xcleaner.
But still everytime I log onto my g/f's account an antispyware box pops up asking to allow or remove the CWS trojan, even if I just leave that box open and run the scan/searches they dont locate it at all.
I imagine it must be to do with her account as it doesnt happen on my admin account at all
Any help/advice appreciated.

IIRC you gotta do it in Safe Mode - you can also try running "msconfig" from the "Run" menu.....
