Win32.TrojanSpy.Goldun, TagASaurus and Coolwebsearch (page 2)

Great forum here... love the concept of teaching people to help themselves. My XP(sp2) pc rebooted itself for no reason 2 days ago... I ran AdaWare and Spybot Search Destroy and both found half a dozen or more items that looked dangerous. I'm not prone to picking up a lot of viruses usually and this was unusual. I let both programs auto clean and spybot wanted to run again on bootup. I rebooted and ran both programs again... Spybot still picked up TagASaurus but adaware showed up clear. I was busy at the time and possibly stupidly decided to work it out later... then forgot. Today the PC rebooted for no apparent reason again (I dont have any MS or other autoupdates activated that might reboot the pc themselves, that I am aware of) I ran both adaware and spybot again and this time there was maybe a dozen items... including one I know that I REALLY dont want to have, Win32.TrojanSpy.Goldun, which is designed to steal e-gold (which I use) Anyway... better not make this story too long... a
