Need Help Removing {CoolSearch} Virus

Help! I just cannot seem to get to the root of this problem. I'm trying to remove this "CoolSearch" virus and I having no luck. I downloaded the "Hijack This" program, but I don't know what to do after the log file comes up. I would sure appreciate any help I could get with this problem.

Hi RSanchez,

Before you start please move hijackthis.exe to a folder of it´s own. The program creates backups in the folder it is in. These will now end up on your desktop.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://us9.hpwis.com/
