Probs with F1 key

[jimbob2002]

I have a strange problem with the F1 key on my computer.

Whenever I press the F1 key regardless of what application I am in, it opens up internet explorer and goes to a websearch page called coolsearch or something.

Is there any way I can stop this because it makes it impossible for me to use the f1 key for any other application!!!!!

I'd un-install coolsearch and see what happens.

It seems you could have accidentally downloaded their toolbar.

I've searched the c:\ for coolsearch, all it finds is my temp internet fils searching for coolsearch.

cheers, I've downloaded the shredder and now the F1 key no longer instantly loads the browser with the coolsearch page.

....However, the F1 key doesnt do anything.
