proboards doesn't have spyware, and in my almost 2 years of using PB I've never seen coolwwwsearch pop up from my spyware scanner(s). Maybe it's something in your headers/footers. Can you post your URL?

i found it in spybot search and destroy

and my friend found it in norton firewall.

can you post your URL? like I've said, I've never seen this issue on PB before so it's probably a code you added.

i think the search thing might be because of the search ads on the page, cause i use photobucket for my pictures
