1. Why am I still infected by Winfixer, SpyAxe and CoolWebSearch browser hijacker after I scanned and removed the infected files?
   
   Winfixer, Spyaxe and CoolWebSearch (CWS) are types of browser hijackers that change your start page, redirect you to other web sites, add adult links and cause lots of problems in Windows. The main issue in trying to deal with them is that it's variants are constantly changing making it difficult to remove all remnants.
