HijackThis closes immediately after opening? Or similar...
<paste>
There is a variant of the Coolwebsearch trojan spreading that closes several
anti-spyware apps when you try to open them.
If this is happening to you, download PepiMK's CoolWWWSearch.SmartKiller removal
tool first and run it. After it does its job, CWShredder and HijackThis will run
properly (as well Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and several anti-spyware forums).

Use the below tool, unzip and follow the prompts.
