I've heard of CoolWebSearch....I didn't know it could do all of that, though. Also, it installs on its own, so you don't even know you have it (unless you do a spyware scan). A while back, I'd do a scan, and it would almost always be detected.

Hackers are very hard to track, who knows one of us here is a hackers but offcourse no one knows right?

If you know the rules of hacking like, When you get in you must get out.

Don't destroy any files or data when you hack or else you will be track down.

Don't hack goverment agencies or any computers belong to the goverment they have all the time to track you down.

Don't leave any mark when you hack.

Don't stay too long inside the computer you hack in.

See, with these rules tell me how you can find the hackers???

There are agencies hired hackers for a purpose, infact, there are agencies also that the job is to hack, hack and hack.... they are intellegent person and a very potential users of computer....

They will be hard to find who but there here always online...

Heh, that CoolWebSearch annoys me. My dad is careless about the sites he goes to, *cough* so he often picks it up. When I notice something's wrong I scan for adware and see the CoolWebSearch thing. Then, I proceed to eliminate it. I didn't know it was meant for that purpose. I hate webtoolbars anyway. I like it clean and simple, that's why I like Firefox, the addons aren't bad at all.
