Why would a certain website keep appearing on your internet browser and desktop?

Answer 1

Hi,

my idea is that it's a form a browser-hijack. I suggest you try cwshredder.exe, you can find it at: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.HTML or directly: http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/CWShredder.exe

Taken from the website: "The latest and greatest nuisance on the internet, the browser hijacker that won't stop, the Trojan from h**l.. name it what you want, but fact is that a company naming itself 'Coolwebsearch' (CWS) is producing a quickly growing strain of trojans that exploit a hole in the Microsoft Java VM, and change your homepage.

And by changing your homepage, I mean lodge itself onto your system in almost two dozen different ways, change your start page, search page, search assistant, redirecting you to p**n sites from other p**n sites or even search engines, popping up p**n ads and sometimes even carrying a payload. "

When that happened to me I had a backdoor Trojan and had to wipe my hard drive and re-install.
