I can not use hotmail

I have been trying to use hotmail, however I only get the about:blank homepage, with some spyware ad popping up... I found some instructions to remove the spyware for WinXP, but how can I do for WinME?

There are a number of different programs that can remove this version of the CoolWebSearch Browser hijacker. First try running updated scans with your Anti-Virus program, then Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D. Then try About:Buster and CWShredder. If not fixed, then follow the instructions to several sites for custom help. This can be very difficult to remove if the standard scanning programs can not get rid of it. After installing each of the programs, make sure you do the On Line updates for them first.

See: Windows ME fixespage and read through it first, as it is quite long.
