    I'm not a security expert. Based on a Google search for "coolwebsearch" it appears to be classified as adware and/or browser hijacker and/or potentially unwanted program. Two free utilities often recommended at Seven Forums are AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal Tool.

    Downloads - AdwCleaner - ToolsLib

    Malwarebytes | Junkware Removal Tool

    Hopefully others more experienced with malware removal will jump in with other suggestions.
