  When I log on to WordPress and try to check blogstats for my blog, Fostercityblog.com, I receive the following error:

  This request is blocked by the SonicWALL Anti-Spyware Service. Name: CoolWebSearch ActiveX component download (Adware)

  This has not been a problem until today. Would appreciate any advice.

  This will be a spyware or firewall that you are running on your computer and not on the wordpress.com server side. Do you have SonicWALL installed on your computer? Can you disable it? Have you tried accessing your stats on another browser or computer?

  cool web search has infected your computer with (adware) which sounds to me it’s blocking wordpress stats for some reason my friend got (adware) awhile back from cool web search If you have A anti spyware program I recommend sweeping your computer to find the (adware) and have the (adware) removed
