I found this link somewhere on the net. It is in regards to a variant of the CoolWebSearch malware that installs it's self via exploits in IE. Only this one reports your passwords etc to a server - http://www2.spywareinfo.com/2005/08/08/569

That was reported a month ago.

Yes but given that I only managed to stumble upon it today I thought I'd post it here for those to whom it is news. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4186972.stm shows that this spyware was still active and still infecting people on 26th of August so I'd say it was still news worthy.
