God damn it.
My computer is infected with some annoying spyware - CoolWebSearch, likely - and it won't fucking GET OFF MY MACHINE. I've used adaware, spyware S&D, avg, and other random scanners. Thing is, they won't get off my machine. For instance, when adaware tries to removie it, it opens a browser window as soon as it goes to remove it - and since it's being used at the time, it won't remove. I try removing the files, but yet again, they say they're being used.
I can't do a system restore because, for SOME FUCKING RETARDED REASON, it was disabled since I had to reinstall windows this summer. So, in essence, I'm fucked.
Any suggestions without my having to reinstall windows?

if you know what you're doing, try deleting it from the registry.
