Adaware has detected COOLWEBSEARCH which it has quarantined.

I sets my home page to about:blank and comes up with spyware messages.

I have tried to delete it from the Adware and then next time I run the machine it tells me registry stuff is missing and is restoring a recent backup and then well it appears again

Can anyone advise on on ridding myself of this pest.

many thanks
