Increased display size in Internet Explorer
Everyday for about a week now AVG has found Cool Web Search as a threat on my PC
and everyday it has been removed, only to reappear next day on AVG scan. The file
it highlights is HKLM\Software|Classes|IEHlprObj.IEHlpr.Obj.
Anybody out there got any ideas on how I can get rid of this trojan completely?
By the way what is HKLM? anyway and what does it do? Jim

Trend Micro bought the rights to CWShredder a few years ago. The latest available
standalone version is 2.19, which is now a few years old. It can be downloaded here:
http://us.trendmicro.com/us/products/personal/CWShredder/
Trend Micro has chosen not to update the free standalone version, opting instead
to incorporate subsequent updates into their commercial antivirus product.
