CoolWebSearch Spyware Uncovered

Identity theft via CoolWebSearch has apparently been uncovered. If true, and the facts are not yet comfirmed to my satisfaction, this massive illegal harvesting of financial and personal information may hopefully wake folks up regarding the potential security risks when using an unprotected Windows OS. Use a firewall and anti-virus software. Buy a hardware router. Install and run anti-spyware applications. Do not run your Windows in Administrator mode. Get a grip, dammit!
