I recently downloaded Weather bug 6.0 version.As
soon as i saw my search bar i got rid of it.Still
don't know why Spayblaster didn't pick it up .Or
why spybot or lava soft won't remove the last
piece of it -I went to add delete and got rid of
weather bug and got rid of my search bar .there
is a but and it sits in my add delete window and
it is called WeatherBug Browser Companion -Powered by
My Search . I have removed every file and folder
i could find having anything to do with
weatherbug or companion as well as ASW.Nothing gets
rid of it and i need helpppppppppp.

Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove what is almost certainly
a variant of the CoolWebSearch hijacker.

Use CWShredder, the removal tool:

Neither AdAware nor Spybot can deal effectively with the CoolWebSearch
malware - even this special tool has problems with the latest variants.
Try it and see - what do you have to lose except a little time?
